Answer:
a) 0.25 cups of flour
(b) 0.18 cups of sugar
(c) 0.5 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
The recipe requires 3 amounts of ingredients to make 6 servings. The following is needed:
1. 1 1/2 cups of flour
2. 3/4 cups of white sugar
3. 1/3 cups of brown suger
a) The total cups of flour per serving can be determined by dividing the flour needed for 6 servings by 6:
= 1.5/6=0.25
0.25 cups of flour is needed per serving
b) The total cups of brown and white sugar can be determined by divided both quantites by 6 servings.
For brown sugar = 0.75/6 = 0.125 cups of brown sugar
For white sugar = 0.333/6= 0.0555≈0.055 cups of white sugar
Total amount of sugar = brown sugar + white sugar = 0.125+0.055=0.18 cups of sugar
c) If we can make 9 servings we can determine the the percentage of more servings and the amount of flour for the modified recipe.
The percentage change of recipes = ((9-6)/9)*100=33.33%
Therefore the new amount of flour needed is:
1.5x0.3333+1.2=0.2
Therefore we need 2-1.5=0.5 cups more flour than the original recipe
