Jenny is throwing a surprise birthday party for her best friend Katie. She has decided to make Katie’s favorite dish, meat loaf. There will be a total of 40 people at the party. Answer the following questions:
• The recipe says it serves 8 people. By what number should Jenny multiply each ingredient to make enough meat loaf for everyone? 5
• The recipe calls for 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef. How much ground beef will Jenny need to make enough meat loaf for everyone?
• Jenny will be serving milk with the meal. She plans on using 8 oz. glasses. How many gallons of milk does she need to make sure everyone gets one glass of milk?

a) The recipe for the meat loaf used by Jenny can serve a total of 8 people. Since there are 40 people in total to serve, the number of each ingredient needed is:

Number of each ingredient = total number of people / number of people served by one recipe

Number of each ingredient = 40 / 8 = 5

b) Since each recipe contains 1 1/2 lb (1.5 lbs) of ground beef, the total amount of ground beef needed to feed everyone is:

Total amount of ground beef = 1.5 lbs * 5 = 7.5 lbs

c) Since one serving would require 8 oz of milk. To serve everyone, the amount of milk needed is:

Amount of milk = 40 people * 8 oz = 320 oz

128 oz = 1 gallon

Amount of milk = 320 oz * 1 gallon / 128 oz = 2.5 gallon

The quantity of the recipe needed for a given number of people is found

by a multiple of the recipe for 8 people.

First question: The number with which to multiply the ingredient is 5.

Second question: The amount of ground beef needed is 7.5 lbs.

Third question: The number of gallons of milk needed is 2 gallons.

Reasons:

The total number of people at the party = 40 people

The number of people the recipe serves = 8 people/recipe

First question:

The number Jenny should multiply the ingredient to make enough for everyone is [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{40 \ people}{8 \, people \, per \, recipe}} = 5 \times Recipe[/tex]

Therefore;

To make enough meat loaf for everyone, Jenny should multiply each ingredient by 5.

Second question:

The amount of ground beef required = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] lbs.

Amount of ground beef required for everyone = 5 × [tex]\mathbf{1\frac{1}{2}}[/tex] lbs = 7.5 lbs.

Third question:

The volume of each glass of milk Jenny is serving = 8 oz.

The number of glasses of milk Jenny need = 40 glasses

The volume of the 40 glasses = 40 × 8 oz. = 320 oz.

Volume of one gallon (imperial) = 160 fluid ounce = 160 oz.

Therefore;

320 oz = 2 × 160 oz. = 2 × 1 gallon = 2 gallons

The number of gallons of milk Jenny needs to make sure everyone gets

one glass of milk is 2 gallons of milk.
