The basic recipe for split pea soup serves 8 people. Find the amount of each ingredient needed to serve 32 people.

32/8 = 4

Multiply each ingredient by 4.

To find the amount of each ingredient needed to serve 32 people, we can use a proportion based on the number of servings.

Since the basic recipe serves 8 people, we can set up the following proportion:

8 people / Amount of ingredients = 32 people / X

Let's solve for X, which represents the amount of each ingredient needed to serve 32 people.

To find X, we cross-multiply and then solve for X:

8 * X = 32 * Amount of ingredients

X = (32 * Amount of ingredients) / 8

Now, to determine the specific amount of each ingredient needed for 32 servings, we need to know the measurements of the ingredients in the basic recipe.
