A recipe for scones uses 500g of flour to make 16 scones how many scones could be made with a 3kg bag of flour?

To find out how many scones can be made with a 3 kg bag of flour, first convert 3 kg to grams, which equals 3000 grams. Since 500 grams of flour makes 16 scones, we can calculate the number of scones per gram: 16 scones / 500 grams = 0.032 scones per gram. Then, multiply 3000 grams by 0.032 scones per gram, resulting in 96 scones that can be made with a 3 kg bag of flour.
