Question

After adjusting the number of servings in a recipe, Charlotte determined that she will need 63 tablespoons (T) of flour. One cup is equivalent to 16 T. How many cups of flour will be required? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

Recipes often need to be adjusted to meet the needs of different situations. The most common reason to adjust recipes is to change the number of individual portions that the recipe produces. For example, a standard recipe might be written to prepare 25 portions. If a situation arises where 60 portions of the item are needed, the recipe must be properly adjusted.

Other reasons to adjust recipes include changing portion sizes (which may mean changing the batch size of the recipe) and better utilizing available preparation equipment (for example, you need to divide a recipe to make two half batches due to a lack of oven space).
