Jam is made from 4 parts fruit to 3 parts sugar. How much sugar is needed to make jam from 1kg of fruit?

$$\\\frac{x \;sugar}{1000g fruit}=\frac{3sugar}{4fruit}\\\\ x \;sugar=\frac{3sugar}{4fruit}\times(1000g fruit)\\\\ The fruit cancels out, so does the 4\\\\ x \;sugar=\frac{3sugar}{1}\times(250g)\\\\ x \;sugar=750gsugar\\\\ x=750g$$

So Faisal is correct         750g   is   0.75Kg   of sugar is needed.
