A recipe for 6 people uses the following ingredients. 120gm in flour, 45 grams of fat and 2 eggs. How much of each ingredient Pat will need to make the recipe for 9 people?

Answer 1

flour#=180g#
fat#=67.5g#
eggs#=3#

I would try to find the amout of ingredients for one person as: flour #120/6=20g# fat #45/6=7.5g# eggs #2/6=1/3# Now I multiply the quantities for one person times #9# to get: flour#=20xx9=180g# fat#=7.5xx9=67.5g# eggs#=1/3xx9=3#
