Answers:

  • 24 mL of oil
  • 60 g onions
  • 0.36 kg potatoes
  • 0.4025 cup of milk

The units for the milk weren't stated, but I'm assuming it's probably "cups".

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe makes 16 portions or servings of soup. Richard only wants 4 servings. This means he needs to divide each ingredient amount by 4. Note how 16/4 = 4.

So,

  • 96/4 = 24 mL of oil is needed
  • 240/4 = 60 grams of onions are needed
  • 1.44/4 = 0.36 kilograms of potatoes are needed
  • 1.61/4 = 0.4025 cups of milk are needed

Change "cups" to whatever other measurement unit is provided.
