Question

the recipe below shows the amount of each ingredient required to make four servings of pasta. based on this information, determine the amount of each ingredient needed to make 10 servings.

1 3/4 cups of cheese

2/3 cups of milk

2 1/2 cups of pasta

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You'd multiply each of the ingredients by 2.. so:

1 3/4 x 2 = 5 1/3

2/3 x 2 = 3 2/3

2 1/2 x 2 = 5

then you would divide each by 2... so:

1 3/4 divided by 2 = 7/8

2/3 divided by 2 = 1/3

2 1/2 divided by 2 = 2 3/4

then add the same ingredients together.. so:

5 1/3 + 7/8 = 6 5/24

3 2/3 + 1/3 = 4

5 + 2 3/4 = 7 3/4

then add 6 5/24, 4 and 7 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are making 10/4 the original number of servings, you simply multiply the amount of each ingredient by 2 1/2 or 5/2:1 3/4 cups of milk = 7/4 cups, so 7/4 * 5/2 = (7*5)/(4*2) = 35/8 = 4 3/8 cups of milk
