1 Ounce of Butter = B

Bowl of Curry = C

1 Hour = H



A restaurant requires 4 + 1/2 ounces of butter for every bowl of curry it makes...

C = 9/2 * B

In an hour, an average of 2 + 1/2 bowls of curry is served...

H = 5/2 * C

... Which means that: H = 5/2 * 9/2 * B

... So: H = 45/4 * B

The question was: How many ounces of butter are required in 1 + 1/2 hours?

Here is the

3/2 * H = 3/2 * 45/4 * B

3/2 * H = 135/8 * B

In words, 16 + 7/8 ounces of butter would be required over a period of 1 + 1/2 hours.
