Answer:

To find out how many kilograms of flour are needed to make 72 cakes, we can set up a proportion based on the given information:

1 bag of flour = 1.5 kg

12 cakes = 1 bag of flour

So, to find out how many kilograms of flour are needed for 72 cakes, we can set up the proportion:

1.5 × 72=12x

To solve for x (the amount of flour needed for 72 cakes), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

108=12x

x = 108÷ 12

x = 9

So, 9 kilograms of flour are needed to make 72 cakes.

Answer: 9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

     It is given that one 1.5 kg bag makes 12 cakes. With this information, we can find how many kilograms of flour is needed for 72 cakes. First, we can divide how many cakes we need to make by the ratio given to us. Then, multiply this number by the number of kilograms per bag to find the total.

           72 cakes / 12 cakes = 6

           6 * 1.5 kg = 9 kg
