Question

A recipe for includes:

½ t cumin
1 1/3 c coconut milk
1 ½ cups tofu
¾ c vegetable stock

Change the recipe to make ½ the number of servings. Write your answers as simplified fractions.

Answer 1

`(1)/(4) ,(2)/(3) ,(3)/(4) ,(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Let

• 
  `w` be number of cumin servings
• 
  `x` be number of cups coconut milk
• 
  `y` be number of cups of tofu
• 
  `z` be number of cups of vegetable stock

every serving must be halved and represented as simple fraction

⇒

`w_(new)=(w)/(2)=(1)/(2*2)=(1)/(4)`

`x_(new)=(x)/(2)=(4)/(3*2)=(2)/(3)`

`y_(new)=(y)/(2)=(3)/(2*2)=(3)/(4)`

`z_(new)=(z)/(2)=(3)/(4*2)=(3)/(8)`
