Make up a recipe on your own, one that includes 5–6 ingredients. Once you have created your recipe, write down all the ingredients and the servings or yield. (You do not need to include the recipe instructions.) Then rewrite the ingredients list as it would appear if you were to use only 13 of the suggested amounts. Keep in mind that some ingredients may not break down to a fractional portion, such as an egg. However, continue to write down the correct measurement calculated for the sake of the problem. Then, again using the original amounts, rewrite the list if you were to triple all ingredients. Make sure to include the new number of servings or yields with each revised ingredient list, and title your recipe.c
