Since we need \(24\) kilograms to make \(300\) tarts, in order to make \(1\) tart we need \(\frac{24}{300}\) kilograms.
Therefore, we need \(\frac{24}{300}\cdot45=\frac{18}{5}\) kilograms(Option __C__) of flour to make \(45\) tarts.
Therefore, we need \(\frac{24}{300}\cdot45=\frac{18}{5}\) kilograms(Option __C__) of flour to make \(45\) tarts.

24/300 = x/45
300x = 24(45)
100x = 8(45)
100x = 360
x = 360/100 = 36/10 = 18/5
