You are going to make a chocolate cake for some friends. Find out: how much of each ingredient you need The oven temperature and cooking time The size of the cake The number of friends you can invite. 1 Ingredients: 250g plain choc 225g butter 5 eggs 90g caster sugar 15ml cocoa powder 10ml vanilla essence Serves: 15 Oven temp: Gas mark 3 Cake diameter = 24cm Cake height = 15cm Cooking time: 45 mins
2
? The number of portions you can make is the 5 th triangular number. 13 6 2 =1,3,6,10,15 So 15 portions
3
You need ‘y’ grams of plain chocolate y is proportional to the cube of x y = 432 when x =6 Find y when x = 5 to find out how much chocolate you need ! y x 3y x 3 y = kx 3 Find k 3 432 = 216k k = 2 y =2x 3 y = 2 125 = 250 250g of plain chocolate
4
The amount of butter in grams is the 15 th term in this sequence 1, 4, 9, 16, …….. Square numbers ~ find 15 2 4 15 x 15 = 225 So 225g of butter
5
Simplify to find the number of eggs 875 35 35 = (5 7) = 5 7 = 5 7 5 875 = 5 7 5 5 875 = 5 7 5 5 = 5 5 = 5 35 5 7 So 5 eggs Or note that 875 = 35 25 so 875/35 = 25 then result follows.
6
A triangle Three sides of a triangle measure: 15cm, 36cm and 39cm. What is the largest angle ? The size of this angle in degrees is the number of grams of caster sugar you need. Pythagoras’ theorem 6 39 36 15 15 2 + 36 2 = 39 2 225 + 1296 = 1521 (This is a 5, 12, 13 triangle!) So largest angle = 90 So you need 90g caster sugar
7
Ingredients List: Plain chocolate ~ 250g Butter ~ 225g Eggs ~ 5 Caster sugar ~ 90g Cocoa powder ~ 15ml Vanilla essence ~ 10ml …but how much of each do you need? 7
8
A B C O Angle ABC (in°) is the amount of cocoa in ml Circle centre = O Angle OAC = 75 Cocoa ! The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference 8 75 30 15 AO = OC = radii AOC = isos triangle OAC = OCA = 75 so AOC= 180-2(75) = 30 ABC is half AOC =15 so 15ml cocoa needed
9
Vanilla essence The base of this pyramid is a regular hexagon with side lengths of 4cm The volume of this pyramid is 80 3 cm 3 The amount of vanilla essence in ml is the same as the perpendicular height of the pyramid in cm. Pyramid volume = 1/3 base area perpendicular height Regular hexagon = 6 equilateral triangles 9 Area of one triangle = 4 3 (by Pythagoras) Area of six triangles = area of base = 24 3 1/3 area of base = 8 3 Vol = 80 3 = 1/3 base area height So height = 10cm So 10ml of vanilla essence is needed. 22 44 h h= (4 2 -2 2 ) h= (16-4) h= 12 h= 4 3 h= 2 3 Area = 2 2 3

x is the gas mark temperature for baking the cake (you are looking for the positive solution…obviously) ((otherwise the cake wouldn’t cook!)) 2 + 1 = 2(x+2) + 1(x+1) = 7 x+1 x+2 (x+2) (x+1) 10 = 3x + 5 = 7 (x+2)(x+1) 10 See card 10a! 10 2 + 1 = 7 x + 1 x + 2 10
11
10a Algebraic fractions …continued! Now ‘cross multiply’ 10(3x + 5) = 7(x + 1)(x + 2) 30x + 50 = 7(x 2 + 3x + 2) 30x + 50 = 7x 2 +21x + 14) 0 = 7x 2 - 9x – 36 0 = (7x + 12)(x – 3) So x = -12/7 or 3 You need gas mark 3 !!
12
The surface area of the baking tin (sides and base) is 504 cm 2 The height of the tin is 15cm 15cm Find the diameter of the cake h 2r2r + r 2 11 Solution see 11a
13
11a Surface area = r 2 + 2 rh (area of circular base plus area of ‘wrap around’ rectangle) SA = 504 = r 2 + 2 r 15 504 = r 2 + 30r 0 = r 2 + 30r – 504 0 = (r + 42)(r – 12) r = -42 or 12 So radius = 12cm and diameter = 24cm (size of cake = 24cm diameter, 15cm height)
14
x is the cooking time in minutes sin x = 1 2 1 1 45 SOH CAH TOA 12 sin 45° = 1 2 22 By Pythagoras So the cooking time is 45 mins
