Chocolate ganache is made from chocolate and cream in a 3:2 ratio, respectively. If one batch of ganache requires 240 grams of chocolate, how many grams of cream is required?
240 g / 3 = 80 g
80 g * 2 = 160 g ... of cream
To find out how many grams of cream are required, we can use the ratio given. The ratio of chocolate to cream is 3:2.
This means for every 3 parts of chocolate, we need 2 parts of cream.
Since you have 240 grams of chocolate, we can set up the following proportion:
3 parts chocolate / 240 grams chocolate = 2 parts cream / x grams cream
To solve for x, the unknown amount of cream, we can cross-multiply and divide:
3 * x = 2 * 240
3x = 480
x = 480 / 3
x = 160
Therefore, for a batch of ganache that requires 240 grams of chocolate, you would need 160 grams of cream.
