let's solve these questions based on the recipe.

1.4 Nomsa only has a 15 ml tablespoon to measure oil. Calculate how many full tablespoons of oil she will need for one batch.

Identify the amount of cooking oil needed for one batch from the recipe (from the previous problem's context).
Cooking Oil needed = $60 \text{ ml}$
Calculate the number of tablespoons needed.
$\text{Number of tablespoons} = \frac{60 \text{ ml}}{15 \text{ ml/tablespoon}}$ $\text{Number of tablespoons} = 4$
Nomsa will need $\boxed{4 \text{ full tablespoons}}$ of oil.

1.5 Calculate the amount of yeast (in grams) Nomsa would need if she decided to only make 10 large vetkoeks.
Identify the amount of yeast for a standard batch and the number of vetkoeks a standard batch makes (from the previous problem's context, a batch makes 40 vetkoeks).
Yeast for a standard batch = $10 \text{ g}$
Number of vetkoeks per standard batch = 40
Calculate the scaling factor for making 10 vetkoeks.
$\text{Scaling factor} = \frac{10 \text{ vetkoeks}}{40 \text{ vetkoeks}} = \frac{1}{4}$
Calculate the amount of yeast needed.
$\text{Yeast needed} = 10 \text{ g} \times \frac{1}{4}$ $\text{Yeast needed} = 2.5 \text{ g}$
Nomsa would need $\boxed{2.5 \text{ g}}$ of yeast.

1.6 Nomsa wants to make 120 vetkoeks in total. Calculate how many litres of lukewarm water she will need for this order.
Identify the amount of lukewarm water for a standard batch and the number of vetkoeks a standard batch makes.
Lukewarm Water for a standard batch = $1.5 \text{ litres}$
Number of vetkoeks per standard batch = 40
Calculate the number of batches needed for 120 vetkoeks.
$\text{Number of batches} = \frac{120 \text{ vetkoeks}}{40 \text{ vetkoeks/batch}}$ $\text{Number of batches} = 3$
Calculate the total amount of lukewarm water needed.
$\text{Total water needed} = 1.5 \text{ litres/batch} \times 3 \text{ batches}$ $\text{Total water needed} = 4.5 \text{ litres}$
Nomsa will need $\boxed{4.5 \text{ litres}}$ of lukewarm water.

1.7 Nomsa wants to have the first batch of 40 vetkoeks finished frying at 11:00.

1.7.1 Calculate the total time, in minutes, it takes to complete ONE batch.
List the time components for one batch from the recipe (from the previous problem's context).
Mixing Time = $10 \text{ minutes}$
First Rise = $30 \text{ minutes}$
Second Rise = $15 \text{ minutes}$
Frying Time = $5 \text{ minutes per side}$ . Assuming this refers to the total duration of the frying process for the entire batch (i.e., 5 minutes for the first side of all vetkoeks, then 5 minutes for the second side of all vetkoeks), the total frying time is $5 \text{ minutes} + 5 \text{ minutes} = 10 \text{ minutes}$ .
Sum the time components.
$\text{Total time} = 10 \text{ min} + 30 \text{ min} + 15 \text{ min} + 10 \text{ min}$ $\text{Total time} = 65 \text{ minutes}$
The total time to complete one batch is $\boxed{65 \text{ minutes}}$ .

1.7.2 Determine the latest time she should start her preparation to ensure the batch is ready at 11:00.
Identify the desired finish time and the total time required.
Finish time = $11:00$
Total time for one batch = $65 \text{ minutes}$
Convert the total time into hours and minutes.
$65 \text{ minutes} = 1 \text{ hour and } 5 \text{ minutes}$
Subtract the total time from the finish time.
$\text{Start time} = 11:00 - 1 \text{ hour } 5 \text{ minutes}$ $\text{Start time} = 09:55$
The latest time she should start her preparation is $\boxed{09:55}$ .
