Answer :

(b) Ingredients Weight

Pastry flour: 6 lbs., 10 oz.

Hydrogenated shortening: 6 lbs., 11.6 oz.

Whole eggs: 6 eggs

Brown sugar: 1 lb., 9.4 oz.

Salt: 0.6 oz.

Baking soda: 0.3 oz.

Vanilla: 0.5 oz.

To determine the amount of each ingredient when the flour amount is changed to 6 lbs., 10 oz., we first need to calculate the new weights based on the given percentages.

For pastry flour: 144% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 6.16 lbs., or 6 lbs., 2.6 oz.

For hydrogenated shortening: 145% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 6.28 lbs., or 6 lbs., 4.8 oz.

For whole eggs: 146% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is approximately 6.

For brown sugar: 147% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 1.14 lbs., or 1 lb., 2.4 oz.

For salt: 148% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 0.6 oz.

For baking soda: 149% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 0.3 oz.

For vanilla: 150% of 6 lbs., 10 oz. is 0.5 oz.

In summary, when the flour amount is changed to 6 lbs., 10 oz., the adjusted amounts of ingredients are: 6 lbs., 2.6 oz. of pastry flour, 6 lbs., 4.8 oz. of hydrogenated shortening, 6 whole eggs, 1 lb., 2.4 oz. of brown sugar, 0.6 oz. of salt, 0.3 oz. of baking soda, and 0.5 oz. of vanilla.
