Question

If you made a large amount of tuna casserole by mixing 40 ounces of soup with 15 cups of pasta, would it taste the same as the original recipe? Explain or show your reasoning.(original recipe: 10 ounces of soup for every 3 cups of pasta)

Answer 1

For the recipe to taste the same, the proportions have to be mantained.

The original proportion is 10 ounces of soup for every 3 cups of pasta.

In the new recipe, we have 40 ounces of soup, which is 4 times the original, however we have 15 cups of pasta, which is 5 times the original.

So, the proportions wasn't mantained, so the tune would not taste the same.
