How much flour does she need for 2 kids?

How much flour does she need for 4 kids?

How much flour does she need for 8 kids?

How much flour does she need for 16 kids?

Does she have enough flour?

No because;

1500g would equal 6 kids?

 

[ksdhart2]

Yes, that's correct. Each kid needs 250g of flour. Pat has 1500g. 1500 / 250 = 6, which is less than 16.

The recipe ought to state how many servings it yields. Because it doesn't, we have assumed it makes enough play dough for only one kid. :cool:
