Recipe is for 24 pieces, and required quantity is 16.

So the ratio is 16/24 = 2/3 means we need to reduce all ingredients to 2/3 of the given quantities. Not all recipes can be reduced prorata, but we will assume it can be done. A word of caution: the measurement of quantities will become awkward (like 3/8 of a teaspoon of salt, etc). The practical way is to make the full recipe, and invite friends to take home the remainder.

Here's the scaled recipe

Butter 1cup*3/4 = 3/4 cup

unsweetened chocolate = 4*3/4 = 3 squares

white sugar = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups

eggs = 4 * 3/4 = 3 eggs

A.P. flour = 1 cup * 3/4 = 3/4 cups

vanilla extract = 1 * 3/4 = 3/4 teaspoons

salt = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 teaspoons

chopped walnuts = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups


For this reason, there is a trend to use weights (in grams) than volumes to make scaling recipes easier.

Explain how you decide wether to multiply or divide by 3 if you need to convert yards to feet.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting yards to feet means that we want the label of yards to cancel, leaving feet as our label. Use the factor-label method taught in chemistry.

???yds *\frac{3feet}{1yd}

The yards label cancels out, leaving feet as our label.  So to answer the question, in order to convert from yards to feet you are multiplying by 3.
