Question

This recipe makes 16 portions of potato soup.

Richard follows the recipe but wants to make 4 portions.
Complete the amounts of each ingredient that he needs.
Recipe: Serves 16
96 ml oil
240 g onions
1.44 kg potatoes
1.61 milk

Answer 1

Answers:

• 24 mL of oil
• 60 g onions
• 0.36 kg potatoes
• 0.4025 cup of milk

The units for the milk weren't stated, but I'm assuming it's probably "cups".

=========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe makes 16 portions or servings of soup. Richard only wants 4 servings. This means he needs to divide each ingredient amount by 4. Note how 16/4 = 4.

So,

• 96/4 = 24 mL of oil is needed
• 240/4 = 60 grams of onions are needed
• 1.44/4 = 0.36 kilograms of potatoes are needed
• 1.61/4 = 0.4025 cups of milk are needed

Change "cups" to whatever other measurement unit is provided.
