Question

A recipe for includes:

½ t cumin
1 1/3 c coconut milk
1 ½ cups tofu
¾ c vegetable stock

Change the recipe to make ½ the number of servings. Write your answers as simplified fractions.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} ,\frac{2}{3} ,\frac{3}{4} ,\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

• $w$ be number of cumin servings
• $x$ be number of cups coconut milk
• $y$ be number of cups of tofu
• $z$ be number of cups of vegetable stock

every serving must be halved and represented as simple fraction

⇒

$w_{new}=\frac{w}{2}=\frac{1}{2\times2}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x_{new}=\frac{x}{2}=\frac{4}{3\times2}=\frac{2}{3}$

$y_{new}=\frac{y}{2}=\frac{3}{2\times2}=\frac{3}{4}$

$z_{new}=\frac{z}{2}=\frac{3}{4\times2}=\frac{3}{8}$
