Flour of \( 0.52 \) per cent ash comes from wheat of \( 1.60 \) per cent ash. The ash ratio is
Answer: C
Correct answer: 0.325
The ash ratio compares the flour's ash with the wheat's:
\[ \frac{0.52}{1.60} = 0.325 \]
A low ratio means the mill has separated the endosperm cleanly, leaving most of the mineral-rich bran and aleurone in the offal. The figure is a better index of milling performance than the flour ash alone, because it removes the effect of the wheat's own ash content, which varies with variety and growing conditions.
