Answer:
5 portions of porridge requires
250g of oats, 0.75L of milk and 25g of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
This recipe makes 8 portions of porridge. Complete the amount of each ingredient that is needed to make just 5 portions.
The ingredients for the recipe = Oats, Milk, Sugar
Hence:
For Oats
8 portions of porridge = 400g of oats
5 portions of porridge = x
Cross Multiply
8x = 5 × 400
x = 5 × 400/8
x = 250g of oats
For Milk
8 portions of porridge = 1.2 L of milk
5 portions of porridge = x
Cross Multiply
8x = 5 × 1.2
x = 5 × 1.2/8
x = 0.75 L of milk
For sugar
8 portions of porridge = 40g of sugar
5 portions of porridge = x
Cross Multiply
8x = 5 × 40
x = 5 × 40/8
x = 25g of sugar
Hence:
5 portions of porridge requires
250g of oats, 0.75L of milk and 25g of sugar
