✏️ Part 3: Recipe Problems — bake a cake

Recipe for 1 cake: Flour 0.5 kg, Sugar 0.25 kg, Milk 0.2 L, Butter 0.1 kg

10. For one cake, write each ingredient as a fraction (lowest terms):

Flour (0.5 kg) = ________

Sugar (0.25 kg) = ________

Milk (0.2 L) = ________

Butter (0.1 kg) = ________

11. You are making 2 cakes for a bake sale. How much sugar do you need in kilograms as a fraction? Show your working.
