Assignment: Ratio and Proportion: Molten Lava Cake You will apply ratios and proportions to help you convert a recipe to serve more people. Use the recipe to solve the problems. The problem is your recipe only serves 8 people. Start by using the information to make 1 serving per person. Use proportions to increase the recipe to serve 30 people.

Molten Lava Cake Recipe:

1 c of sugar
6 squares of bittersweet chocolate
2 squares semisweet chocolate
1 1/4 stick butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 large eggs
4 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 tablespoons orange liqueur
Use proportions to increase the recipe to serve 30 people (1 serving per person).
Complete the table to include:

Ratio for one serving (use the table to assist you).
(i. e. If the recipe uses 1 cup of sugar, and the recipe serves 8, the ratio for one serving equals 1/8 cup sugar) thus the answer would be 1/8
Proportions used to increase recipe to 30 servings.
(i. e. for the sugar 1/(8 servings) = x/(30 servings)) thus the answer is 1/8 = x/30
Show the work to solve the proportion. Round your measurement to the nearest half. (i. e. 3.222 teaspoons rounds to 3 teaspoons, 3.666 teaspoons rounds to 3½ teaspoons, 3.89 teaspoons round to 4 teaspoons), thus the answer is 4
Scaled Recipe – Ingredient and new amount needed for 30 servings. Show the exact answer or the rounded measurement, thus the answer is 4.687 or 4 1/2
