Answer 1

A recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 6 servings

A) How many cups of flour are there in 6 servings? 1 1/2 cups
How many cups of flour are there per serving? Show your work. (2 pts)
1 1/2 ÷ 6 = 3/2 x 1/6 = 3/12 = 1/4 cups for 1 serving

b) How many total cups or sugar (white and brown) are there in 6 servings?
3/4 + 1/3 = 9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12
How many cups of sugar are there per serving? Show your work. (2 pts)
1 1/12 ÷ 6 = 13/12 x 1/6 = 13/72 cups of white and brown sugar


c) Suppose you modify the recipe so that it makes 8 servings. How much more flour do you need if you already have enough for 6 servings. Show your work. (2 pts)

Flour for 6 servings = 1 1/2 cups
Flour for 1 serving = 1/4 cups
Flour for 8 servings = 1/4 x 8/1 = 8/4 = 2 cups for 8 servings
