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.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The perimeter of the second square is 36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the sides of the squares with S1 and S2.

So:

S_1:S_2 = 1 : 3 --- Scale factor

P_1 =12 --- perimeter of the first

Required

Calculate P2, the perimeter of the second

Represent the ratios of the perimeter:

Scale = P_1 : P_2

Substitute 12 for P1

Scale = 12 : P_2

Equate both scale factors

12 : P_2 = 1:3

Convert to fraction

\frac{12}{P_2} = \frac{1}{3}

Cross multiply

P_2 = 12 * 3

P_2 = 36
