9. In the spaces, list the appropriate answers for the following scaled recipe: this basic punch recipe yields 64 fl oz and serves 8 portions of 8 fl oz each. It needs to be increased to serve 20 portions of 8
fl oz each. Calculate the RCF and find the new amounts for the ingredients. (20 points)

a. RCF = 2.5

b. New amounts for the ingredients:

Ingredients      New Amount

Juice                   5 quarts

Lemons              5 mediums

Limes                 5 mediums

Strawberries   50 mediums

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Yields from basic punch recipe = 64 fl oz

Servings from the yields = 8 portions of 8 fl oz each

Required portions increase = 20 portions of 8 fl oz each

To increase to 20 ports, fl oz of recipe required = 64 * 20/8 = 160 fl oz

b) Therefore, RCF = Total new portions/total old portions = 20/8 or

Yields for new recipe/Yields for old recipe = 160/64 = 2.5

c) Listing the appropriate answers for the scaled recipe:

Ingredients      Old Amount      RCF        New Amount

Juice                   2 quarts          2.5             5 quarts     (2 * 2.5)

Lemons              2 mediums     2.5             5 mediums (2 * 2.5)

Limes                 2 mediums     2.5             5 mediums (2 * 2.5)

Strawberries   20 mediums     2.5           50 mediums (20 * 2.5)
