Recipe scaling proportion problem — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This flat illustration visually demonstrates the concept of scaling recipes by doubling ingredients. On the left, a recipe for '4 People' lists 2 cups flour, 4 eggs, and 1 cup sugar, with an image of a cake. On the right, a recipe for '8 People' shows 4 cups flour, 8 eggs, and 2 cups sugar, also with a cake. A central 'x2 DOUBLE IT!' graphic with arrows links the two, illustrating that all ingredients are doubled. The diagram teaches multiplication, ratios, and real-world math applications related to cooking, suitable for worksheets, slides, or as a math discussion prompt. A whisk and mixing bowl decorate the top, and a caption at the bottom reinforces, 'When you double the recipe, everything doubles!'.
