Answer:
4.5x eggs are needed if he used 900 g of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that to bake muffins Matt needs X eggs for every 200 g of flour.
We need to find the number of eggs if he used 900 g of flour.
Let Matt needs Y eggs for every 900 g of flour.
Using proportion, we get
[tex]\frac{X}{200}=\frac{Y}{900}[/tex]
On cross multiplication we get
[tex]900x=200Y[/tex]
Divide both sides by 200.
[tex]\frac{900x}{200}=Y[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9x}{2}=Y[/tex]
[tex]4.5x=Y[/tex]
Therefore 4.5x eggs are needed if he used 900 g of flour.
