Ok, so increasing a recipe originally for 16 to 24, you need to figure out how many times larger you need the recipe, so divide 24 by 16, and you get 1.5 (one and a half times larger)
You then just need to take each ingredient amount and multiply it by 1.5
2 cans chopped clams x 1.5 = 3 cans
4 cups broth x 1.5 = 6 cups
6 cups milk x 1.5 = 9 cups
4 cups cubed potatoes x 1.5 = 6 cups
Does this make sense?
Answer:
24 :)
Step-by-step explanation:
2 / 3 x 36 = ?
First of all, note that 36 is the same as 36/1 since 36 divided by 1 is 36. Therefore, start by setting up the problem like this:
36 / 1 x 2 / 3
Multiply the numerators together (36 x 2 = 72) and multiply the denominators together (1 x 3 = 3) and make it into one fraction like so:
72 / 3
The greatest common factor of 72 and 3 is 3. Minimize the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by its greatest common factor to get:
24 / 1
Convert the improper fraction above to a whole number to get the answer:
24
Hope this helps :)
