Question

A recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 4 servings. How many cups of flour are there per serving? Show your work. How many total cups of sugar (white and brown) are there per serving? Show your work. Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 6 servings. How much more flour do you need for the modified recipe than you need for the original recipe? Show your work. Answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

Cups of flour 5/16

Cups of sugar 3/16

5/8 more cups of flour we need for 6 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of flour

We need to divide the total of flour (1 1/4) in the total of servings (4)

=(1 1/4)/4

=5/16 cups of flour for servings

Cups of sugar

We need to divide the total of sugar (3/4) in the total of servings (4)

=(3/4)/4

=3/16 cups of sugar for servings

If the recipe is for 6 servings

You need to add more flour and sugar to complete 6 servings

1 1/4 flour=4 servings

x flour=6 servings

(1 1/4 flour*6 serving)/4 servings=x flour

x flour= 15/8 cups of flour

The difference

First 1 1/4 cups

Then 1 7/8

More cups of flour=5/8
