Question

This recipe makes three portions of soup.

Navina follows this recipe but only wants to make enough for one portion of soup.
How much of each ingredient does she need?

Recipe: Serves 3
180 g onions
120 g carrots
3 tablespoons of oil
600 g tomatoes
1.2 litres vegetable stock

Answer 1

Explanation:

To get one portion of soup, each ingredient should be divided by 3

Quantity of onion required= 180 ÷ 3 = 60 g

Quantity of carrots required = 120 ÷ 3 = 60 g

Oil = 3 ÷ 3 = 1 table spoon

Quantity of tomatoes required = 600 ÷ 3 = 300 g

Vegetable stock = 1.2 ÷ 3 = 0.4 litres
