Math Extra Credit Assignment
A recipe my family loves is a cookie recipe I found online a while ago. Here are are ingredients:
1 cup salted butter softened
1 cup white (granulated) sugar
1 cup light brown sugar packed
⅖ tsp pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
2 cups chocolate chips
What would I have to do to triple my ingredients?
Here are my calculations.
1 cup * 3 = 3 cups (salted butter softened)
1 cup * 3 = 3 cups (white granulated sugar)
1 cup * 3 = 3 cups (light brown sugar packed)
⅖ cups * 3 = 1⅕ cups (pure vanilla extract)
2 eggs * 3 = 6 eggs
3 cups * 3 = 9 cups (all-purpose flour)
1 tsp * 3 = 3 tsp (baking soda)
½ tsp * 3 = 1½ tsp (baking powder)
1 tsp * 3 = 3 tsp (sea salt)
2 cups * 3 = 6 cups (chocolate chips)
