To solve this problem, we need to adjust the recipe ingredients. The original recipe serves
3 people, but we want to serve
6 people.
Since 6 is double 3 (because $3 \times 2 = 6$), we need to
double every ingredient amount. This means multiplying each number by 2.
Here is the step-by-step calculation for each ingredient:
1.
Seedless grapes:
* Original: $\frac{1}{2}$ pound
* Calculation: $\frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1$
* New Amount:
1 pound
2.
Strawberries:
* Original: $\frac{1}{4}$ cup
* Calculation: $\frac{1}{4} \times 2 = \frac{2}{4}$
* Simplify: $\frac{2}{4}$ is the same as $\frac{1}{2}$
* New Amount:
$\frac{1}{2}$ cup
3.
Bananas:
* Original: 2
* Calculation: $2 \times 2 = 4$
* New Amount:
4
4.
Orange juice:
* Original: $\frac{1}{4}$ cup
* Calculation: $\frac{1}{4} \times 2 = \frac{2}{4}$
* Simplify: $\frac{2}{4}$ is the same as $\frac{1}{2}$
* New Amount:
$\frac{1}{2}$ cup
5.
Sugar:
* Original: 1 tablespoon
* Calculation: $1 \times 2 = 2$
* New Amount:
2 tablespoons
6.
Cornstarch:
* Original: 2 teaspoons
* Calculation: $2 \times 2 = 4$
* New Amount:
4 teaspoons
Final Answer:
To Serve 6 People:
*
seedless grapes: 1 pound
*
strawberries: 1/2 cup
*
bananas: 4
*
orange juice: 1/2 cup
*
sugar: 2 tablespoons
*
cornstarch: 4 teaspoons
