Here are The ingredients For makeing fish pie for 6 people.180g flour 240 g fish 80g butter 4 eggs 180 ml milk.

a)clare makes a fish pie for 2 people work out how much fish she needs.

B)lan makes a fish pie for 15 people
Work out how much butter he needs.

Answer 1

The amount of ingredients are needed:

For 2 people: Flour = 60 g, Fish = 80 g, Butter = 26
`(2)/(3)` g, Eggs = 2 eggs, Milk = 60 ml

For 15 people:Flour = 450 g, Fish = 600 g, Butter = 200 g, Eggs = 10 eggs, Milk = 450 ml

Explanation:

Given,

For 6 people following things are needed:

Flour = 180 g

Fish = 240 g

Butter = 80 g

Eggs = 4

Milk = 180 ml

To find the amount of ingredients for a) 2 people b) 15 people

Now,

a) For 2 people

Since the number of people decreased by
`(1)/(3)`rd times

The amount of ingredients will be decreased by
`(1)/(3)` times

So, following this are needed:

Flour = 180×
`(1)/(3)` = 60 g

Fish = 240×
`(1)/(3)` = 80 g

Butter = 80×
`(1)/(3)` = 26
`(2)/(3)` g

Eggs = 4×
`(1)/(3)` = 1
`(1)/(3)` = 2 eggs

Milk = 180×
`(1)/(3)` = 60 ml

b) For 15 people

Since the number of people increased by
`(5)/(2)`th times

The amount of ingredients will be decreased by
`(5)/(2)`th times

So, following this are needed:

Flour = 180×
`(5)/(2)`= 450 g

Fish = 240×
`(5)/(2)` = 600 g

Butter = 80×
`(5)/(2)` = 200 g

Eggs = 4×
`(5)/(2)` = 10 eggs

Milk = 180×
`(5)/(2)` = 450 ml
