Answer:
a. RCF = 2.5
b. New amounts for the ingredients:
Ingredients New Amount
Juice 5 quarts
Lemons 5 mediums
Limes 5 mediums
Strawberries 50 mediums
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Yields from basic punch recipe = 64 fl oz
Servings from the yields = 8 portions of 8 fl oz each
Required portions increase = 20 portions of 8 fl oz each
To increase to 20 ports, fl oz of recipe required = 64 * 20/8 = 160 fl oz
b) Therefore, RCF = Total new portions/total old portions = 20/8 or
Yields for new recipe/Yields for old recipe = 160/64 = 2.5
c) Listing the appropriate answers for the scaled recipe:
Ingredients Old Amount RCF New Amount
Juice 2 quarts 2.5 5 quarts (2 * 2.5)
Lemons 2 mediums 2.5 5 mediums (2 * 2.5)
Limes 2 mediums 2.5 5 mediums (2 * 2.5)
Strawberries 20 mediums 2.5 50 mediums (20 * 2.5)
