Question

cook books have recipes that are designed for 4 people. if a particular recipe in a cook book calls for 3 eggs, how many eggs would you need if you were cooking the recipe for 14 people?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the recipe is designed for 4 people than you would need 6 eggs for 8 people (8 is twice as many as 4 so you need twice as many eggs.) similarly, 14 is 3.5 times as many as 4 (14/4=3.5) so you would need 3x3.5=10.5 eggs.

Not sure how that works but I hope this helped!
