Question

Here are The ingredients For makeing fish pie for 6 people.180g flour 240 g fish 80g butter 4 eggs 180 ml milk.

Answer 1

The amount of ingredients are needed:

For 2 people: Flour = 60 g, Fish = 80 g, Butter = 26$\frac{2}{3}$ g, Eggs = 2 eggs, Milk = 60 ml

For 15 people:Flour = 450 g, Fish =  600 g, Butter  = 200 g, Eggs  = 10 eggs, Milk = 450 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

For 6 people following things are needed:

Flour = 180 g

Fish = 240 g

Butter = 80 g

Eggs = 4  

Milk = 180 ml

To find the amount of ingredients for a) 2 people b) 15 people

Now,

a) For 2 people

Since the number of people decreased by $\frac{1}{3}$rd times

The amount of ingredients will be decreased by $\frac{1}{3}$ times

So, following this are needed:

Flour = 180×$\frac{1}{3}$ = 60 g

Fish = 240×$\frac{1}{3}$ = 80 g

Butter = 80×$\frac{1}{3}$ = 26$\frac{2}{3}$ g

Eggs = 4×$\frac{1}{3}$ = 1$\frac{1}{3}$ = 2 eggs

Milk = 180×$\frac{1}{3}$ = 60 ml

b) For 15 people

Since the number of people increased by $\frac{5}{2}$th times

The amount of ingredients will be decreased by $\frac{5}{2}$th times

So, following this are needed:

Flour = 180× $\frac{5}{2}$= 450 g

Fish = 240× $\frac{5}{2}$ = 600 g

Butter = 80× $\frac{5}{2}$ = 200 g

Eggs = 4× $\frac{5}{2}$ = 10 eggs

Milk = 180× $\frac{5}{2}$ = 450 ml
