A recipe is designed to serve 4 people. You want to serve 18 people, so you multiply each ingredient in the recipe by a factor A
. Set up an equation to find the factor you will need to use to determine the new amounts in the recipe. (Write the equation and solve to find that factor.) B.
If the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of water when serving four people, how much will the new recipe need for 18 people? Show your work in finding your answer and make sure your answer is clearly stated.
1st you need to multiply 3/4 and 5. 18 can't be divided by 4 to get a whole number, so the closest you can get is if you divide 20 and 4. Then you would get 5. So, what I got the 20, because I rounded up to the nearest number that 4 can be divided by. Use a calculator. It will help you a lot! and it doesn't need to be a fancy one either. It can be the standard (or simple) calculator.
