PART A: Suppose at another time you would like to use the same pancake recipe. You have plenty of all the ingredients except tha
t you only have 3 eggs. Convert the recipe to use exactly 3 eggs. Blueberry Pancakes Recipe, makes 6 servings 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/4 cups blueberries Convert the recipe to use exactly 3 eggs. Hint: You may want to make use of the conversion factor 3/2. PART B: Suppose you would like to make pancakes according to the given recipe: Blueberry Pancakes Recipe, makes 6 servings 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/4 cups blueberries Convert the amount of each ingredient of the recipe to make 15 servings. Round any decimal answers to two places. Hint: You may want to make use of the conversion factor 15/6.
The repetitive scaling is best handled by a spreadsheet.
<u>Part A</u>
We know the scale factor is 3/2, so we can multiply the number of servings and everything else by 3/2. The scaled recipe will make 9 servings.
__
<u>Part B</u>
Since 15 = 6 + 9, we could arrive at this recipe by adding the Part A recipe to the original recipe. Instead, our spreadsheet uses the suggested 15/6 multiplier.
The formula used is shown in the spreadsheet attachment. It is filled to the right and down to cover all of the recipes and ingredients.
We know that there is a total of 900 cells, and 37 of the samples 60 are red. 900/60 is our unit rate of 15. 37 times 15 is 555. We will see 555 red blood cells in all of the cells.
555 is our answer.
