Answer :
Answer:
1/3 to 1/2 teaspoons of lemon extract
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportions you say are ...
1 tsp lemon extract : 2 tbsp lemon juice
extract : juice = 1 tsp : 6 tsp = 1 : 6
If you have 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice, you have the equivalent of 2/6 to 3/6 = 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoons of lemon extract.
For a recipe substitution, 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice is less than 1 tablespoon, so using the conversion provided (1 teaspoon lemon extract per 2 tablespoons lemon juice), you would need between approximately 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract for your lemon macarons.
The student is asking for help in converting the amount of lemon juice specified in a recipe to the equivalent amount of lemon extract. The conversion rate provided is 1 teaspoon of lemon extract for every 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. As 1 tablespoon is equal to 3 teaspoons, we first need to convert 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice to tablespoons. Since 2-3 teaspoons is less than 1 tablespoon, we can conclude that less than 1 teaspoon of lemon extract is needed for this conversion.
Using the conversion rate:
First, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice would be equivalent to 1 teaspoon of lemon extract.
Since 2-3 teaspoons is 2/3 to 1 tablespoon, then the amount of lemon extract needed would range from 1/3 (approx.) to 1/2 teaspoon to maintain the flavor intensity.
This ensures that the lemon macarons will have the correct amount of lemon flavor when using lemon extract instead of lemon juice.
