Understanding Ratios in Recipe Adjustments

The video tutorial explains how to adjust a super cake recipe meant for 32 people to serve only 16 guests by halving the ingredients. It introduces the concept of ratios, showing that the proportions of ingredients remain consistent regardless of the cake size. By maintaining the same ratios, the taste and quality of the cake are preserved, even when the quantity is reduced.

What is the original number of people the super cake recipe is designed to serve?

• 8 people

• 16 people

• 24 people

• 32 people

If you have 16 guests, how should you adjust the number of eggs in the recipe?

• Use 4 eggs

What is the adjusted amount of flour needed for the smaller cake?

• 2 cups

• 3 cups

• 4 cups

• 6 cups

What concept helps in understanding how to adjust the recipe for different numbers of guests?

• Equations

• Fractions

• Ratios

• Proportions

In the original recipe, what is the ratio of eggs to flour?

• 8 to 6

• 4 to 3

How do you derive the ratio for the smaller cake from the original recipe?

• Multiply by 2

• Divide by 2

• Add 2

• Subtract 2

Why is it important to maintain the same ratios in both cake recipes?

• To use more ingredients

• To reduce cooking time

• To ensure the cake tastes the same

• To ensure the cake is the same size

What happens to the taste of the cake if the ratios are maintained?

• The cake becomes less sweet

• The cake becomes sweeter

• The taste remains the same

• The taste changes
