Answer and explanation:
We are told that Sarah has 600g of butter, 300g of caster sugar, 1kg of plain flour, and 500g of cornflour
We are also told that she found this list of ingredients for making 8 shortbread biscuits. The question isn't clear on whether the ingredients listed above are for the 8 shortbreads, or ingredients for 8 shortbreads were omitted.
We are told Sarah wishes to make as many shortbreads as possible.
To work out how many shortbreads Sarah can make, we need to know the ingredients required for one shortbread(or a number of shortbreads) and ingredients Sarah currently has. The question lists Sarah's ingredients and the number of shortbreads(8) that can be made with them, but doesn't go further than this. Therefore we can conclude that Sarah can only make 8 shortbreads given the amount of ingredients in her possession.
