Saima mixes jam, sugar and soft cheese in the ratio 4:1:16 She uses 32 oz of soft cheese. Saima knows that 1 oz is 28.3 grams. How many grams of jam does Saima need?

Step-by-step explanation:

jam : sugar : cheese = 4 : 1 : 16

that means she uses 4 times more jam than sugar, and 16 times more cheese than sugar (and therefore 4 times more cheese than jam).

so, now we know, she uses 32 oz of cheese.

that is (as we just determined) 4 times more than jam.

therefore, she uses

32/4 = 8 oz of jam.

1 oz = 28.3 grams

so, 8 oz are

8 × 28.3 = 226.4 grams
