Question 153570
Theoritically, {{{1cake}}} calls for 1.25 cups of flour + 2 cups of sugar to serve 3 people. Now if double the # of people to {{{highlight(6)}}},
then he ingredients doubled too. It make sense right?
For 6: {{{1.25*2=2.50}}} cups of flour + {{{2*2=4}}}cups of sugar.
let's see if we can add another 1.25 cups of flour + 2 cups of sugar for another 3 people: {{{2.50+1.25=3.75}}} cups of flour. STOP THERE! You have only 3.25 cups of flour so it won't work, unless you do ratio & Proportion but THAT"S NOT THE RECIPE CALLS FOR.
So the total only for the largest cake is 6 people.
Thank you,
