In your journal, you chose a healthy recipe. Then you made a plan to scale it up to cook for a large party. You found how many servings the original recipe made then you accounted for the number of gas. You multiply the original measurements to find the amount of each ingredient you’ll need to make one serving for each guest, this involved multiplying fractions. In your post, describe your cooking plans to your peers explain how you multiply fractions to solve the problem, describe the healthy recipe you choose list the measurements of each ingredient in the original recipe, and how many people it serves list the number of people invited to your party. Explain how you calculated the man of each ingredient you’ll need to prepare enough Servings for all your guest state the amount of each ingredient you’ll need to cook for your party describe the ways use fractions to benefit your health in your real life. For instance, do you use them for structuring an exercise routine or scheduling daily activities name is situation that might require you to more apply fractions or mixed numbers Specify whether you need to be multiplying a fraction or a mixed number by an integer or multiplying two fractions or mixed numbers together
Title: Scaling Up a Healthy Recipe for a Large Party
Introduction:
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my cooking plans for a large party I'm hosting and how I used fractions to multiply the recipe to serve all my guests. Additionally, I will discuss how I apply fractions in my daily life to benefit my health.
Healthy Recipe Choice:
For my party, I decided to cook a delicious and nutritious Chickpea Salad.
Original Recipe Measurements and Servings:
The original recipe serves 4 people and requires the following measurements:
- Chickpeas: 1 cup
- Cucumber: 1 medium
- Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup
- Red onion: 1/4 cup
- Feta cheese: 1/4 cup
- Extra virgin olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic: 1 clove
- Salt and pepper to taste
Number of People Invited to the Party:
I invited 20 people to my party.
Calculating Ingredient Amounts:
To calculate the amount of each ingredient I'll need for the party, I divide the number of people invited by the original number of servings (20 ÷ 4 = 5). This means I need to multiply the measurements of each ingredient by 5 to get the required quantity for each.
Scaled-Up Ingredient Amounts:
- Chickpeas: 5 cups
- Cucumber: 5 medium
- Cherry tomatoes: 5 cups
- Red onion: 1 and 1/4 cups
- Feta cheese: 1 and 1/4 cups
- Extra virgin olive oil: 10 tablespoons (1 and 1/4 cups)
- Lemon juice: 10 tablespoons (1 and 1/4 cups)
- Garlic: 5 cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste (Multiply based on personal preference)
Benefits of Using Fractions in My Daily Life:
Fractions play a significant role in enhancing my health and well-being on a daily basis. I often use fractions to structure my exercise routine or schedule daily activities. For instance, if I plan to run for 1 hour and want to alternate between jogging and walking every 10 minutes, I would use fractions to calculate the time for each activity (10/60 = 1/6).
Situations Requiring Application of Fractions or Mixed Numbers:
There are several situations where I need to apply fractions or mixed numbers, such as when doubling a recipe or adjusting ingredient quantities. If I am doubling a recipe, I would multiply all measurements by 2, which involves multiplying fractions or mixed numbers by an integer. When creating smoothies with various flavors and adjusting the quantities to achieve the desired taste, I need to multiply fractions (e.g., 1/4 cup of strawberry + 1/2 cup of banana = 3/4 cup of mixed fruits).
Conclusion:
Using fractions to scale up recipes is an efficient way to provide adequate servings for a large party. Additionally, applying fractions in various aspects of our lives, such as exercise routines and adjusting ingredient quantities, can contribute to better health and organization.
