Question

1. A recipe for corn chowder makes one hundred and fifty 6-ounce servings. You will be making

forty 8-ounce servings. What is the recipe conversion factor?

Answer 1

Answer: 16/45 or .355 is the recipe conversation factor

Explanation:

150×6=900

40×8= 320

320/900 = 16/45 or 0.355

Figure out what the total amount of ounces the original recipe will make. Then the total amount you need to make. Set up a proportion of the needed amount to the original amount.

You will multiply each original mesurement in the original by the conversation factor to get the measurements you need.
