GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Number: Proportions - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the number of almond biscuits Jane can make with her available ingredients: flour, butter, icing sugar, and almonds. Each ingredient is converted from kilograms to grams, and calculations are performed to determine the maximum number of biscuits possible with each ingredient.
