Answer 1

Given:

Recipe: Serves 4

40 ml oil

50 g onions

400 g potatoes

500 ml milk

To find:

The amount of ingredients Richard needs to make 12 portions of potato soup.

Solution:

If Richard wants to make 12 portions of the soup then he needs to take thrice amounts of ingredients that he took to make 4 portions of soup.

The recipe for 12 portions would be:

Recipe: Serves 12

40 ml oil * 3 = 120 ml

50 g onions *3 = 150 g

400 g potatoes *3 = 1200 g

500 ml milk* 3 = 1500 ml

Therefore the recipe is as follows:

Recipe: Serves 12

120 ml oil

150 g onions

1200 g potatoes

1500 ml milk
