If Wonton soup yields 24 portions, what is the conversion factor for a recipe that yields 96 portions?

If Wonton soup yields 24 portions, what is the conversion factor for a recipe that yields 96 portions?

• A. 7
• B. 4
• C. 0.25
• D. 3

Answer: (B)

To determine the conversion factor for a recipe that yields different portions, you need to divide the desired yield by the original yield. In this case, if the original Wonton soup recipe yields 24 portions and you want to adjust it to yield 96 portions, you perform the following calculation: 96 portions (desired yield) ÷ 24 portions (original yield) = 4. This shows that you need to multiply the original recipe by 4 in order to achieve the desired yield of 96 portions. Thus, the conversion factor is 4. The correct answer reflects this multiplication required to increase the portion size appropriately.
