Recipe Scaling 210B35
1. **Stating the problem:** We have two recipes, one using imperial US measurements and one using metric measurements. Each recipe yields between 8-12 portions and has at least 6 ingredients. We need to scale each recipe up to 16 servings and down to 6 servings, showing the scale factor (SF) each time.
2. **Original Recipes:**
**Recipe 1 (Imperial US): Pancakes**
- Flour: 2 cups
- Milk: 1.5 cups
- Eggs: 2 large
- Sugar: 2 tablespoons
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
- Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons
- Yield: 10 servings
**Recipe 2 (Metric): Fruit Salad**
- Apples: 500 grams
- Bananas: 300 grams
- Oranges: 400 grams
- Grapes: 200 grams
- Honey: 50 grams
- Lemon juice: 30 milliliters
- Mint leaves: 10 grams
- Yield: 10 servings
3. **Formula for scaling recipes:**
$$\text{Scaled amount} = \text{Original amount} \times \text{Scale Factor (SF)}$$
Where
$$\text{SF} = \frac{\text{Desired servings}}{\text{Original servings}}$$
4. **Scaling Pancakes recipe:**
- Original servings = 10
**Scale Up to 16 servings:**
$$SF = \frac{16}{10} = 1.6$$
Multiply each ingredient by 1.6.
**Scale Down to 6 servings:**
$$SF = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6$$
Multiply each ingredient by 0.6.
5. **Scaled Pancakes ingredients:**
- Flour: $2 \times 1.6 = 3.2$ cups (up), $2 \times 0.6 = 1.2$ cups (down)
- Milk: $1.5 \times 1.6 = 2.4$ cups (up), $1.5 \times 0.6 = 0.9$ cups (down)
- Eggs: $2 \times 1.6 = 3.2$ eggs (up), $2 \times 0.6 = 1.2$ eggs (down)
- Sugar: $2 \times 1.6 = 3.2$ tbsp (up), $2 \times 0.6 = 1.2$ tbsp (down)
- Baking powder: $2 \times 1.6 = 3.2$ tsp (up), $2 \times 0.6 = 1.2$ tsp (down)
- Salt: $0.5 \times 1.6 = 0.8$ tsp (up), $0.5 \times 0.6 = 0.3$ tsp (down)
- Butter: $2 \times 1.6 = 3.2$ tbsp (up), $2 \times 0.6 = 1.2$ tbsp (down)
6. **Scaling Fruit Salad recipe:**
- Original servings = 10
**Scale Up to 16 servings:**
$$SF = \frac{16}{10} = 1.6$$
**Scale Down to 6 servings:**
$$SF = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6$$
7. **Scaled Fruit Salad ingredients:**
- Apples: $500 \times 1.6 = 800$ g (up), $500 \times 0.6 = 300$ g (down)
- Bananas: $300 \times 1.6 = 480$ g (up), $300 \times 0.6 = 180$ g (down)
- Oranges: $400 \times 1.6 = 640$ g (up), $400 \times 0.6 = 240$ g (down)
- Grapes: $200 \times 1.6 = 320$ g (up), $200 \times 0.6 = 120$ g (down)
- Honey: $50 \times 1.6 = 80$ g (up), $50 \times 0.6 = 30$ g (down)
- Lemon juice: $30 \times 1.6 = 48$ ml (up), $30 \times 0.6 = 18$ ml (down)
- Mint leaves: $10 \times 1.6 = 16$ g (up), $10 \times 0.6 = 6$ g (down)
**Final answers:**
- Pancakes scaled to 16 servings and 6 servings with SF 1.6 and 0.6 respectively.
- Fruit Salad scaled to 16 servings and 6 servings with SF 1.6 and 0.6 respectively.
