2 pints of vegetable stock

4 slices of bread
What would be needed to make soup for 14 people?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given quantities of ingredients are required for making tomato soup for 4 people. To make soup for 14 people, the multiplicative factor can be determined by;

`(14)/(4)` = 3.5

Thus, the quantities of ingredients needed to make soup for 14 people are:

6 tomatoes x 3.5 = 21 tomatoes

1 potato x 3.5 = 3.5 potato

1 onion x 3.5 = 3.5 onions

2 table spoons of olive oil x 3.5 = 7 table spoons of olive oil

2 pints of vegetable stock x 3.5 = 7 pints of vegetable stock

1 carrot x 3.5 = 3.5 carrots

4 slices of bread x 3.5 = 14 slices of bread

The quantity of ingredients needed to make soup for 14 people are:

21 tomatoes

3.5 potato

3.5 onions

7 table spoons of olive oil

7 pints of vegetable stock

3.5 carrots

14 slices of bread
