Question

Imagine you are having a potluck at your church this week. You are going to bring a dessert to share. This project includes a recipe for chocolate chip cookies for desert. You are expecting 120 people, but the recipe does not serve that many people, so you will need to adjust the ingredients so there will be enough. For example, if a recipe serves 8 people and you need to feed 32 people, what would you need to do? You would have to make 4 times as much as the original recipe makes, which means that you would need to multiply the amount of each ingredient by 4, since 8*4 = 32. (If you are struggling with this project, please refer back to the lesson Multiplying Fractions in the unit Fractions) Cookies (makes 24 servings) 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/3 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour. 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk) Answer the following questions: Show your work for a higher score! 1.
