Question

A recipe of chicken marinade says mix 3 parts with oil with 2 parts soy sauce and 1 part orange juice if you need 42 cups of marinade in all how much of each ingredient should you use

Answer 1

Answer:

21 cups oil

14 cups soy sauce

7 cups orange juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 1 cup for 1 part. The original recipe as given with its small amounts would make a total of 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 parts, or 6 cups of sauce.

You want to make 42 cups.

42/6 = 7

The amount you want to make is 7 times the amounts in the ratio.

3 parts oil: 3 × 7 = 21: 21 cups oil

2 parts soy sauce: 2 × 7 = 14: 14 cups soy sauce

1 part orange juice: 1 × 7 = 7: 7 cups orange juice

Check: 21 + 14 + 7 = 42

The amounts above do make 42 cups in total.

Answer:

21 cups oil

14 cups soy sauce

7 cups orange juice
