Answer 1

Ingredient | 4 servings | 2 servings | 8 servings

-------------------------------------------------------------------

flour (c) | 1 | 1/2 | 2

sugar (c) | 3/4 | 3/8 | 3/2

butter (T) | 1 | 1/2 | 2

salt (t) | 1/4 | 1/8 | 1/2

Explanation:

4 servings:

1 c flour

3/4 c sugar

1 T butter

1/4 t salt

2 serving = 4 servings / 2 =

1 c flour/2 = 1/2 c flour

3/4 c sugar/2 = 3/8 c sugar

1 T butter/2 = 1/2 T butter

1/4 t salt/2 = 1/8 t salt

8 servings = 4 servings * 2 =

1 c flour * 2 = 2 c flour

3/4 c sugar * 2 = (3*2)/4 = 3/2 c sugar

1 T butter * 2 = 2 T butter

1/4 t salt * 2 = 2/4 = 1/2 t salt
