Question

1. Choose one recipe from the internet, cookbook or home.

2. the recipe must have at least eight ingredients must have the number of portions it makes and it must serve greater than 4 people but less than 10 people.
3. use proportions to increase the recipe to save the number of people in your class including your teacher. (1 serving per person)
4. create a brochure that includes the following:
- original recipe
- ratio for one serving, for example if the recipe uses one cup of sugar and the recipe serves it the ratio for one serving equals 1/8c.sugar
- proportion used to increase recipe to number of servings to give one portion to each person in the class including the teacher
- show all work to solve proportions
- round your measurements to the nearest half
- ingredients and new amount needed to give one serving per person in class.

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you need to use proportions to increase the recipe to serve the number of people in your class, including your teacher. Calculate the new ratio for one serving and multiply the original amounts by this ratio to determine the new amount of each ingredient.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to use proportions to increase the recipe to serve the number of people in your class, including your teacher. Let's say the original recipe serves 6 people and the ratio for one serving is 1/6.

If you need to serve 20 people, you can set up a proportion: 1/6 = x/20, where x represents the new ratio for one serving. Solving for x, we get x = 20/6 = 10/3. So, the new ratio for one serving is 10/3. To calculate the new amount of each ingredient, multiply the original amounts by 10/3.
