Final answer:
Jamar should make 5 servings to feed 3 adults and 3 children, assuming children eat half a serving compared to adults. He needs to multiply the single-serving ingredient quantities of Recipe B by 5 to accommodate the required servings.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about adjusting serving sizes for a recipe to accommodate a specific number of adults and children, taking into account that children eat less than adults. Since the original Recipe B does not specify the number of servings, we must assume a standard serving size or based on the context of the provided question, adjust the quantities proportionally to suit the number of people.
Let's take a scenario where one adult's serving size is 'A' and a child's serving size is 'C'. We can say that 'C' is less than 'A'. Assuming that a child eats half as much as an adult, we can set 'C' to '0.5A'. Therefore, for 3 adults and 3 children, we would need '3A + 1.5A' which equals '4.5A'. However, since recipes typically cater to whole servings, we would need to round up, meaning Jamar should prepare 5 adult servings.
Converting the 5 adult servings into the recipe's units can be done by multiplying the single-serving quantities of Recipe B's ingredients by 5. If Recipe B's ingredient quantities are expressed per serving, those quantities should be multiplied by 5 to accommodate the 5 servings needed for 3 adults and 3 children. For example:
- If Recipe B calls for 1 lb. of peaches per serving, Jamar would need 5 lbs. for 5 servings.
- If Recipe B requires 1 cup of butter per serving, 5 cups will be needed for 5 servings.
- The same process would be applied to the flour, sugar, and lemon juice.
It is also important for Jamar to consider if the children's preference might lean towards less sugar or more fruit, and adjust accordingly.
