Answer:

24 ml oil

60 g onions

360 g potatoes

400 ml milk

Explanation:

The recipe makes 16 portions and you only need 4 portions. Since 16 is 4 times bigger than what you need, just divide everything you've been given by 4.

*you can choose to convert into the correct units of measurement before or after dividing. I converted after dividing. Either way works fine though.

1) 96/4 = 24 ml

2) 240/4 = 60 g

3) 1.44/4 = 0.36 kg

They want it in grams, so times it by 1,000 to convert. this gives you 360 g.

4) 1.6/4 = 0.4 l

They want it in ml, so times it by 1,000 to convert. this gives you 400 ml.

Hope this helped : )
