Answer 1

• For 4 servings, Ramsey should add 1/3 Tbsp lemon juice to the recipe.

• For 4 servings, Ramsey should add 1 cup vinegar to the recipe.

• For 6 servings, Ramsey should add 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice to the recipe.

• For 6 servings, Ramsey should add 3/2 cup vinegar to the recipe.

Explanation:

• It is given that for 2 servings

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoon vinegar is required.

teaspoon is denoted by tsp

and table spoon is denoted by Tbsp.

• It means that for 1 servings we require:

1/4 tsp lemon juice, 1/8 cup of olive oil and 1 tbsp of vinegar.

• Hence, for 4 servings we require:

1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup of olive oil and 4 tbsp of vinegar.

We know that 3 tsp=1 tbsp

i.e. 1 tsp=1/3 tbsp

Hence, for 4 servings we require 1/3 tbsp of lemon juice.

Also, 2 tbsp=1/8 of a cup

i.e. 1 tbsp=1/4 of a cup

i.e. 4 tbsp = 1 of a cup

For 6 servings we require:

3/2 tsp lemon juice, 3 cup of olive oil and 6 tbsp of vinegar.

3/2 tsp=1/2 tbsp

and 6 tbsp= 3/2 of a cup.
