Question

A cafeteria is trying to scale a small pancake recipe up in order to feed a group of tourists. The recipe feeds 6 people and the cafeteria is trying to feed 75. The recipe calls for 4 cups of flour and 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of sugar.
(a) One 10 pound bag of flour contains 38 cups of flour. Will it be enough for this recipe? Justify.
(b) If one 10 pound bag of flour contains 38 cups of flour, how many pounds of flour will be needed for this recipe? Round to the nearest tenth of a pound.
(c) If there are 4 cups in a quart and 4 quarts in a gallon, will we need more or less than a gallon of milk for this recipe?
(d) The cafeteria has a 1.5-kilogram bag of sugar. If a cup of sugar weighs 0.5 pounds and there are 2.2 pounds per kilogram, does the cafeteria have enough to make this recipe?
(e) If the original recipe made 14 pancakes and the cafeteria plans to charge $.50 per pancake, how much money will they make if they sell all of the pancakes made for 75 people?
