If Eric wishes to triple the recipe the amount of each ingredient that he should use would be;
A) 7 cups of flour
C) 1 1/8 cups of white sugar
D) 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips
E) 1 1/5 cups of chopped almonds
F) 4.5 cups of brown sugar
How to triple the ingredients
To triple means to make something three times the original amount. So, the tripled forms of the ingredients would be as follows;
Flour: Original amount: 2 + 1/3 cups
Triple the amount: 3 * (2 + 1/3) = 6 + 1 = 7 cups
Chocolate chips: Original amount: 3/4 cup
Triple the amount: 3 * (3/4) = 9/4 = 2 1/4 cups
Chopped almonds: Original amount: 2/5 cup
Triple the amount: 3 * (2/5) = 6/5 = 1 1/5 cups
Brown sugar: Original amount: 1 1/2 cups
Triple the amount: 3 * (1 1/2) = 4 1/2 = 4.5 cups
White sugar: Original amount: 3/8 cup
Triple the amount: 3 * (3/8) = 9/8 = 1 1/8 cups
Salt: Original amount: 1/2 teaspoon
Tripling the amount does not change the quantity of salt, it remains 1/2 teaspoon.
