Practical Applications

Cooking and Recipes

Math in the Kitchen

Cooking is a yummy way to use multiplication and division! Recipes often ask you to double or halve the ingredients.

Ways to Use Recipe Math

  • Multiply to double a recipe (2 × each ingredient).
  • Divide to make a smaller batch.

Tasty Results

Math helps you bake enough cupcakes for the whole class or just a few for your family!

Examples

  • A recipe needs 3 eggs, but you want to make twice as much. You use \(3 \times 2 = 6\) eggs.

  • You have a recipe for 12 cookies, but you only want 6, so you use half of each ingredient.
