Question

Make up a recipe on your own, one that includes 5–6 ingredients. Once you have created your recipe, write down all the ingredients and the servings or yield. (You do not need to include the recipe instructions.) Then rewrite the ingredients list as it would appear if you were to use only 1/3 of the suggested amounts. Keep in mind that some ingredients may not break down to a fractional portion, such as an egg. However, continue to write down the correct measurement calculated for the sake of the problem. Then, again using the original amounts, rewrite the list if you were to triple all ingredients. Make sure to include the new number of servings or yields with each revised ingredient list, and title your recipe. Could you do this but make a cake please?

Sure! Here's a recipe for a simple vanilla cake:

1/3 Amount Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Answer 7

Apologies for the oversight. Here's a simplified version of the eggless chocolate cake with 5-6 ingredients:

Recipe Title: Easy Eggless Chocolate Cake

Original Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups water or milk

Yield: 1 9-inch cake

1/3 Portion Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/6 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water or milk

Yield: 1/3 of a 9-inch cake

Triple Portion Ingredients:
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 and 1/2 cups water or milk

Yield: 3 9-inch cakes

Answer 8

so it is a 9 inch cake?

Answer 9

Yes, that's correct! The recipe yields a 9-inch cake.

Answer 10

is one third of a 9 inch cake 3 inches?

Answer 11

Apologies for the confusion. No, one-third of a 9-inch cake would not be 3 inches. When we mention "one-third" of a 9-inch cake, it refers to the ratio of the ingredients used to make a smaller portion of the original recipe. The size of the cake itself would still be a 9-inch cake.

To clarify, if you were to make one-third of the original recipe, you would end up with a smaller portion of a 9-inch cake in terms of servings. The physical diameter of the cake would still be 9 inches.

However, if you prefer a smaller cake with a 3-inch diameter, please let me know, and I'll be happy to provide a revised recipe for that size.

Answer 12

Ooohhhh thank you
Bye
Have a nice day!

Answer 13

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Have a wonderful day too! If you have any more questions in the future, feel free to ask. Goodbye!
