Adjusting Recipe Using Conversion Factor

Explanation

The Computation:

To find out how many pounds of ground beef will be in the new recipe, we can use the conversion factor method. According to the original recipe, there are 25 pounds of ground beef in a recipe for 100 servings. The conversion factor is 5, meaning we need to adjust the recipe by multiplying the ingredient amounts by this factor.

Calculation:

Number of pounds of ground beef in new recipe = 25 pounds of ground beef in original recipe × 5

Number of pounds of ground beef in new recipe = 125 pounds

Conclusion:

By applying the conversion factor of 5 to the original amount of ground beef, we will have 125 pounds of ground beef in the new modified recipe. This adjustment ensures that the recipe will be suitable for the desired number of servings.
