Question

Stephanie is making beef for a party the recipe uses 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper, 3 2/4 teaspoons of garlic powder 1/8 teaspoons of thyme and 4 teaspoons of onion powder if she needs to double tap the recipe how many teaspoons will she use of each ingredient?

Answer 1

Answer:

She will use:

3 tablespoons of pepper

7 tablespoons of garlic powder

$\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoon of thyme

8 tablespoons of onion powder

Explanation:

To double the amount, Stephanie will need to double the amount of each ingredient used. This means that she will multiply each amount by 2

Therefore:

New amount of any ingredient = old amount of that ingredient x 2

This means that:

New amount of pepper = $1\frac{1}{2}*2= 3$ tablespoons

New amount of garlic powder = $3\frac{2}{4}*2=7$ tablespoons

New amount of thyme = $\frac{1}{8}*2=\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoons

New amount of onion powder = $4*2=8$ tablespoons

Hope this helps :)
