Answer :
To make Dijon Chicken for 22 guests instead of 6, you would need 23/4 tablespoons of brown sugar. Hence option c) 23/4 is the correct answer.
The student has a recipe for Dijon Chicken that serves 6 people and uses 3/4 tablespoon of brown sugar. To calculate the amount of brown sugar needed for 22 guests, we need to find the scaling factor and then apply it to the original amount of brown sugar.
The scaling factor is the number of guests you want to serve divided by the number of guests the original recipe serves, which is 22 divided by 6, giving us approximately 3.67. So, if one serving requires 3/4 tablespoons, 22 servings require:
A recipe for Dijon Chicken that serves 6 calls for 3/4 of a tablespoon of brown sugar.
To serve 22 guests, we need to calculate the amount of brown sugar needed:
- Calculate the ratio of guests to the amount of brown sugar:
22 guests ÷ 6 guests = 3.67 - Multiply the original amount of brown sugar by the ratio:
3/4 tablespoon * 3.67 = 11/4 tablespoons = 23/4 tablespoons.
Hence option c) 23/4 is the correct answer.
