Question

Imagine you are the pastry chef at your favorite restaurant. The manager has just told you that you have a large crowd coming in for lunch tomorrow and you need to prepare. This project includes a recipe for cupcakes for dessert. You are expecting 108 people, but the recipe does not serve that many people, so you will need to adjust the ingredients so there will be enough. For example, if a recipe serves 8 people and you need to feed 32 people, what would you need to do? You would have to make 4 times as much as the original recipe makes, which means that you would need to multiply the amount of each ingredient by 4, since 8*4 = 32.

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe serves 36 people. You need to serve 108 people.

In the example,

original serving (8) * multiplier (4) = new serving (32)

Here,

original serving = 36 and new serving = 108

36 * multiplier = 108

divide both sides by 36 to isolate the multiplier

108/36 = multiplier = 3
