Butter Calculation for Waffles

The problem requires finding the total quantity of butter needed for 17 waffles, given the amount required for 4 waffles.

Determine Butter Per Waffle

First, calculate the amount of butter needed for a single waffle.

  • Butter for 4 waffles: 680 g
  • Number of waffles: 4
  • Butter per waffle = Total butter / Number of waffles

Using LaTeX notation:

Butter per waffle = $\frac{680 \text{ g}}{4}$

Butter per waffle = $170 \text{ g}$

Calculate Total Butter for 17 Waffles

Next, multiply the butter needed per waffle by the desired number of waffles (17).

  • Butter per waffle: 170 g
  • Desired number of waffles: 17
  • Total butter needed = Butter per waffle × Number of waffles

Using LaTeX notation:

Total butter needed = $170 \text{ g/waffle} \times 17 \text{ waffles}$

Total butter needed = $2890 \text{ g}$

Conclusion

Therefore, 2890 g of butter is needed to make 17 waffles.
