Question

1 tsp vanilla = 4 tsp vanilla
1 egg = 4 egg
2 1/4 cups all - purpose flour = 9 cups all - purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda = 4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt = tsp salt
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts = cup coarsely chopped nuts
2 cups semi - sweet chocolate chips = cups semi - sweet chocolate chips

Explanation:

Looking at the pattern from the filled - in boxes, for the ingredients where the original quantity is a single unit (like 1 tsp Vanilla, 1 Egg, 1 tsp Baking Soda) the result is 4 times the original. For the ingredient with an original quantity of \(2\frac{1}{4}\) cups of flour, the result is 9 (since \(2\frac{1}{4}\times4 = 9\)). So we can assume we are scaling the recipe by a factor of 4.

Step 1: Salt Calculation

The original quantity of salt is \(\frac{1}{2}\) tsp. To find the scaled quantity, we multiply the original quantity by 4.
The formula is: Scaled Quantity=\(\frac{1}{2}\times4\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\times4 = 2\)

Step 2: Coarsely Chopped Nuts Calculation

The original quantity of coarsely chopped nuts is 1 cup. Multiply by 4.
Scaled Quantity = \(1\times4=4\)

Step 3: Semi - Sweet Chocolate Chips Calculation

The original quantity of semi - sweet chocolate chips is 2 cups. Multiply by 4.
Scaled Quantity=\(2\times4 = 8\)

Answer:

s:

• \(\frac{1}{2}\) tsp Salt = \(\boldsymbol{2}\) tsp Salt
• 1 cup Coarsely Chopped Nuts=\(\boldsymbol{4}\) cup Coarsely Chopped Nuts
• 2 cups Semi - Sweet Chocolate Chips=\(\boldsymbol{8}\) cups Semi - Sweet Chocolate Chips
