A recipe for tarte Tatin requires: 500g pastry 800g apples 100 g caster sugar 100 ml apple juice 6g of vanilla 50 g of butter Amber, Bekim, Cairo, and Darcy have the following quantities of each ingredient: The quantity is given in the image below Who can make the largest tarte Tatin?
Correct answer: A. Amber
- A. Amber
- B. Bekim
- C. Cairo
- D. Darcy
Explanation
Amber has enough Pastry to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Amber has enough Apples to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Amber has enough Caster Sugar to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Amber has enough Apple Juice to make 3 Tarte Tatin. Amber has enough Vanilla to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Amber has enough Butter to make 4 Tarte Tatin. The maximum number of Tarte Tatin that Amber can make is determined by the ingredient that allows the least complete portions, i.e. here Apple Juice is only enough for 3 Tarte Tatin, so Amber can make 3 Tarte Tatin in total. Bekim has enough Pastry to make 6 Tarte Tatin. Bekim has enough Apples to make 3 Tarte Tatin. Bekim has enough Caster Sugar to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Bekim has enough Apple Juice to make 5 Tarte Tatin. Bekim has enough Vanilla to make 3 Tarte Tatin. Bekim has enough Butter to make 2 Tarte Tatin. The maximum number of Tarte Tatin that Bekim can make is determined by the ingredient that allows the least complete portions, i.e. here Butter is only enough for 2 Tarte Tatin, so Bekim can make 2 Tarte Tatin in total. Cairo has enough Pastry to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Cairo has enough Apples to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Cairo has enough Caster Sugar to make 4 Tarte Tatin. Cairo has enough Apple Juice to make 2 Tarte Tatin. Cairo has enough Vanilla to make 2 Tarte Tatin. Cairo has enough Butter to make 4 Tarte Tatin. The maximum number of Tarte Tatin that Cairo can make is determined by the ingredient that allows the least complete portions, i.e. here Apple Juice and Vanilla are only enough for 2 Tarte Tatin, so Cairo can make 2 Tarte Tatin in total. Darcy has enough Pastry to make 5 Tarte Tatin. Darcy has enough Apples to make 1 Tarte Tatin. We do not need to calculate further because it is clear that Darcy cannot make more than 1 Tarte Tatin due to lack of apples. Therefore, the answer is A, Amber, as she can make the most Tarte Tatin with these ingredients

About Scientific Reasoning
Scientific reasoning evaluates hypotheses through observations, variables, controls, measurements and experimental results. Questions involve identifying independent and dependent variables, recognising a fair test, interpreting tables or graphs, distinguishing evidence from opinion, and deciding whether data supports, rejects or leaves a hypothesis unresolved.

In a restaurant recently, I received the following bill: Starter $7.00 Main Course $20.75 Dessert $9.75 Drink $4.50 Service Charge $5.25 TOTAL $47.25 What percentage of the cost of the food and drink had been added to the bill as service charge?
A cleaning solution is used to remove limescale, CaCO3, from bathroom surfaces. When the solution is sprayed onto the limescale, effervescence (fizzing) occurs and the solid limescale begins to disappear. This chemical reaction is needed because the limescale cannot be removed with water alone. Which of the following statements about this chemical reaction are correct? 1 The cleaning solution is acidic. 2 The effervescence (fizzing) is caused by the release of hydrogen gas. 3 The pH of the reacting solution will go down as the reaction proceeds. 4 The salt produced in the reaction is more soluble than CaCO3
The price for hiring a car is determined by the number of days for which it is to be hired and the number of people who will be using it. The table below shows the prices for groups of up to 5 people hiring cars for up to 7 days. Patrick is part of a group of 5 people on a holiday for 5 days. They will be going on outings each day, and had planned to hire one car for all of them for all 5 days. However, two of the group of people will only be there for the first 3 days, so an alternative is to hire one car for this period and another for the final two days. What will be the difference if they choose this alternative?
Many people were worried when they found that their photocopiers had been sometimes changing numbers; one photocopier sometimes, although not always, changed 6 into 8. A list of prices was copied on this photocopier. The first five prices on the copy·are shown below. $54.80 $60.00 $65.40 $70.80 $78.20 In the original list, the prices had increased by the same amount each time. What was the next price.on the original list?

In an ecosystem, producers convert the sun's energy into a usable source for other organisms. Primary consumers eat the producers, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers.The lion is both a scavenger and a secondary consumer. Thus, they may fill more than one role in the ecosystem.If additional cheetahs were introduced into this ecosystem, shortly thereafter we would expect a decrease in the:
