I want to can some dill pickles but can't figure out the measurements for the amount of cucumbers I have. Here's the packages instructions
9-11 lbs pickling cucumbers
3 1/3 cups mrs wages white distilled vinegar
7 1/3 cups water
1 pouch(46tsp) mrs wages dill mix
Now I need it for 2-3 pounds of cucumbers.
---------
The average of 9-11 is 10
The average of 2-3 is 2.5
--------
The reduction factor for the ingredients is 2.5/10 = 1/4
--------
(1/4)(3 1/3) = (1/4)(10/3) = 10/12 = 5/6 of Mrs Wages white distilled vinegar
----
(1/4)(7 1/3) = (1/4)(22/3) = 22/12 = 1 5/6 cups of water
-----
(1/4)(46 tsp) = 11 1/2 tsp of Mrs Wages dill mix
