How many people will this larger batch of Arroz Con Leche serve?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Mia wants to use 6 cups of rice, she would need to multiply the amount of each ingredient by 3, because the original 2 cups times 3 is the 6 cups she wants to use. So the new amount for the recipe would be this:

6 cups of rice

12 cups of milk  

1 cup of sugar  

3 handful of raisins

3 cinnamon sticks

When asking how many this will serve, we also multiply by 3 the original amount of people which is 4 to get 12 servings of Arroz con leche
