Question

Jason is preparing curry from an Indian cookbook his British brother-in-law gee him for his birthday. Unfortunately, the British cookbook is written with units he does not typically use, so he must do some conversions before getting to work in the kitchen *) The recipe calls for 450 g of diced chicken. How many pounds of chicken should he defrost? b) The recipe calls for 125 g of diced onions. How many 4 oz onions should he dice? c) The recipe calls for 100 mL of coconut milk. How many cups should he add

Answer 1

Answer:

0.99 pounds

2,000 oz

0.423 cups

Explanation:

In order  to convert this units we need to look up their equivalences.

1 g equals 0,0022 pounds approximately

Then we need to cross-multiply:

$\frac{1 g}{0.0022 pounds} = \frac{450 g}{ Xpounds} \\x = \frac{450 g x 0.0022 pounds}{1 g}$

450 g equals 0.99 pounds approximately

We can do the same calculation for the other 2 ingredients

1 g equals 16 oz

Then (125 g x 16 oz) / 1 oz = 2,000 oz  (or 500 4 oz)

1 cup equals 236.59 ml

Then (100 ml x 1 cup)/ 236.59 = 0.423 cups
