1. Marie would like to use an old recipe of her grandmother to bake coconut tarts for the school bazaar.

The coconut tarts have to be baked at 350 °F for 20 minutes.

Coconut Tarts (Makes 3 dozen)

INGREDIENTS
1 lb self-raising flour
9 oz margarine
3/4 cup of sugar
4 eggs
10 oz coconut
1/4 lb apricot jam
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1. Convert 1/2 lb to grams. (1 lb = 450 g)
2. Convert 9 oz to grams. (1 oz = 30 g)
3. One cup of sugar is equal to 250 ml. How many ml of sugar are needed for this recipe?

Answer :

Let's tackle each part of Marie's question step-by-step.

  1. Convert 1/2 lb to grams:

    Since 1 pound (lb) is equal to 450 grams (g), we need to find out how many grams are in 1/2 lb. This can be done by multiplying:

    [tex]\text{Grams} = \frac{1}{2} \times 450 \, \text{g} = 225 \, \text{g}[/tex]

    Therefore, 1/2 lb is equal to 225 grams.

  2. Convert 9 oz to grams:

    We know that 1 ounce (oz) is equal to 30 grams. So, to find out how many grams are in 9 oz, we multiply:

    [tex]\text{Grams} = 9 \times 30 \, \text{g} = 270 \, \text{g}[/tex]

    Hence, 9 oz is equal to 270 grams.

  3. Convert 3/4 cup of sugar to milliliters:

    One cup of sugar is equivalent to 250 milliliters (ml). Therefore, to find 3/4 cup in milliliters, perform the multiplication:

    [tex]\text{Milliliters} = \frac{3}{4} \times 250 \, \text{ml} = 187.5 \, \text{ml}[/tex]

    Thus, 3/4 cup of sugar is equal to 187.5 ml.

These conversions will help Marie accurately adjust her grandmother's recipe using the measurements needed for the coconut tarts.
