Dry Measure Conversion | Worksheet - Free Printable

To solve this recipe conversion problem, we need to scale up the original recipe from 6 cupcakes to 24 cupcakes.

Step 1: Determine the scaling factor

We are going from 6 cupcakes to 24 cupcakes:

$$
\frac{24}{6} = 4
$$

So, we need to multiply each ingredient by 4.

Step 2: Multiply each ingredient by 4

Let’s go through the original recipe and multiply each amount by 4.

#### Original Recipe (for 6 cupcakes):
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

---

Now scale each by 4:

1. Eggs:
$ 1 \times 4 = 4 $ eggs

2. All-purpose flour:
$ \frac{3}{4} \times 4 = 3 $ cups

3. White sugar:
$ \frac{1}{4} \times 4 = 1 $ cup

4. Milk:
$ \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2 $ cups

5. Melted butter:
$ \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2 $ cups

6. Cocoa powder:
$ 2 \times 4 = 8 $ tablespoons

7. Vanilla extract:
$ 2 \times 4 = 8 $ teaspoons

8. Baking powder:
$ 1 \times 4 = 4 $ teaspoons

Final Answer (for 24 cupcakes):

- 4 eggs
- 3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup(s) white sugar
- 2 cup(s) milk
- 2 cup(s) melted butter
- 8 tablespoon(s) cocoa powder
- 8 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoon(s) baking powder

✔ Answer Key:

Fill in the blanks as follows:

- ___ eggs → 4
- ___ cup(s) all purpose flour → 3
- ___ cup(s) white sugar → 1
- ___ cup(s) milk → 2
- ___ cup(s) melted butter → 2
- ___ cup(s) cocoa powder → 8
- ___ tablespoon(s) & ___ teaspoon(s) vanilla extract → 8
- ___ tablespoon(s) & ___ teaspoon(s) baking powder → 4

> Note: The last two lines ask for "tablespoon(s) & teaspoon(s)", but in the original recipe, both vanilla and baking powder are measured in teaspoons, so only the teaspoon values are needed. So:
>
> - Vanilla extract: 8 teaspoons
> - Baking powder: 4 teaspoons

No tablespoons are needed here.
