Question

Stephanie is making beef for a party the recipe uses 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper, 3 2/4 teaspoons of garlic powder 1/8 teaspoons of thyme and 4 teaspoons of onion powder if she needs to double tap the recipe how many teaspoons will she use of each ingredient?

Answer 1

She will use:

3 tablespoons of pepper

7 tablespoons of garlic powder

`(1)/(4)` tablespoon of thyme

8 tablespoons of onion powder

Step-by-step explanation:

To double the amount, Stephanie will need to double the amount of each ingredient used. This means that she will multiply each amount by 2

Therefore:

New amount of any ingredient = old amount of that ingredient x 2

This means that:

New amount of pepper =
`1(1)/(2)*2= 3` tablespoons

New amount of garlic powder =
`3(2)/(4)*2=7` tablespoons

New amount of thyme =
`(1)/(8)*2=(1)/(4)` tablespoons

New amount of onion powder =
`4*2=8` tablespoons

Hope this helps :)
