A community bake sale is coming up. Use fractions to scale recipes, compare quantities and solve kitchen problems. Show your working where asked. Give units with measurements.

Recipe quantities

Read the recipe, then answer Questions 1–3. Berry Muffins (makes 12) • 1 1/2 cups flour • 3/4 cup milk • 2/3 cup berries • 1/2 cup sugar

1.Which ingredient has the greatest quantity by volume? Compare the fractions to justify your choice.

2.Order the quantities from least to greatest: 1 1/2 cups, 3/4 cup, 2/3 cup, 1/2 cup.

3.For 24 muffins, the baker doubles the recipe. How many cups of berries are needed? Show your calculation.

Scale the batch

Use fractions as operators to scale the original recipe.

4.Kai makes half the muffin recipe. How much flour and milk does Kai need?

5.A baker has 1/4 cup of milk measured out but the half-batch needs 3/8 cup. How much more milk is needed?

6.A tray uses 3/4 cup of sugar. The baker has 1/2 cup. What fraction of a cup must be added to reach the recipe amount?

7.A batch of 12 muffins needs 2/3 cup of berries. How much berry mixture is needed for 18 muffins? Explain the scale factor.

Kitchen maths check

Conversions and practical reasoning for the bake-off.

8.There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup. How many tablespoons are in 3/8 cup?
