Recipe… • 1 3/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising) • 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour • 2 cups sugar • 1 tablespoon baking powder • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes • 4 large eggs • 1 cup whole milk • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
How I got the answers for half the recipe For all of the fractions, I would divide the fraction. For example, the first fraction, I did was 1 ¾. STEPS: 1) I had to make it into a improper fraction. 1 ¾ = 7/4 2) Now, 7/4 divided by 2, would look like this. 7/4 divided by 2/1 3) Now, you make a reciprocal, and when you do that, it changes to multiplication. 4/7 * ½ = 7/8 4) 7/8 is half of 1 ¾ 5) I did the same for the following fractions too.
The recipe for half as many peopleThe recipe serves 30 people,and half of that is 15. 7/8 cup of cake flour ( not self rising ) 5/8 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour 1 cup of sugar ½ tablespoon of baking powder 3/8 teaspoon of salt 1 sticks of unsalted butter, cut into cubs 2 large eggs ½ cup whole milk ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
How I got the answers when I doubledthe recipe. So, for any fraction, if you are doubling it, you are multiplying it by 2. Now when you are multiplying a fraction, you can’t just have 4/5 * 2. You have to make 2, 2/1. So in my first problem, I have to double 1 ¾ Steps: 1) 1 ¾ = 7/4 7/4 * 2/1 = 14/4 14/4 = 3 ½ 3 ½ is the fraction. 1 ¾ doubled equals 3 ½ 5) I did the same thing for all of the other fractions.
The recipe doubled. Which would be for 60 people, that is 60 cupcakes. 3 ½ cups of cake flour ( not self rising ) 2 ½ 4 cups of sugar 2 tablespoons of baking powder 1 ½ teaspoons of salt 4 sticks of butter, cut into squares 8 large eggs 2 cups of whole milk 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
Serve my class and teacher Well, this recipe makes 30 cupcakes, and there is 23 students ( including myself ), and 1 teacher. That is 24 people. If everyone gets 1 cupcake, that would leave 6 extra, unless someone drops theirs or something. I wouldn’t need to adjust the recipe for the class.
