Question

Bob is making banana pudding the recipe calls for 2 and 1/4 cups of heavy whipping cream and 14 1/2 oz of sweetened condensed milk the recipe makes 12 servings Bob wants to reduce the recipe so that it only makes four servings how much milk and cream will he need Express the answers in simplest form and in fraction form

Answer 1

To reduce the recipe from 12 servings to 4 servings, Bob needs to divide the original amounts by 3.

Heavy whipping cream:
2 1/4 cups ÷ 3 = 3/2 cups = 1 1/2 cups

Sweetened condensed milk:
14 1/2 oz ÷ 3 = 29/6 oz = 4 5/6 oz

Therefore, Bob will need 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream and 4 5/6 oz of sweetened condensed milk.
