name: handwritten name p3 date: 1/7/26

objective
i can use evidence from a kitchen chemistry activity to explain how ratios, energy transfer, and temperature affect cooking and baking.

part 1: ratios in recipes

1. a recipe calls for:

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour

what is the ratio of sugar to flour?

1. if you double the recipe, how much would you need?

sugar:
flour:

1. if you cut the recipe in half, how much would you need?

sugar:
flour:

Explanation:

Find the ratio of sugar to flour

$$ \text{Sugar} = 1\text{ cup},\quad \text{Flour} = 2\text{ cups} \implies \text{Ratio} = 1:2 $$
