Culinary Calculations WorksheetCulinary Calculations Chef: Date: Welcome to the test kitchen! Use your knowledge of fractions and mixed numbers to solve these multi-step recipe dilemmas. Show all your "prep work" (calculations) in the boxes provided. 1 Chef Luca has \(2 \frac{1}{2}\) cups of flour. He buys another bag containing \(5 \frac{3}{4}\) cups. He then uses \(3 \frac{1}{3}\) cups to bake a cake. How much flour does he have left? Final Answer: 2 A recipe for one batch of cookies requires \(\frac{7}{4}\) cups of chocolate chips. Chef Maya wants to make \(3\) full batches. She starts with a large \(10\)-cup container of chips. After making the batches, how many cups of chocolate chips remain in the container? Final Answer: 3 A large pot of soup contains \(12 \frac{1}{2}\) liters. Chef Sofia pours the soup equally into \(5\) large bowls. Then, she adds an extra \(\frac{3}{4}\) liter of broth to just one of those bowls. How much soup is in that specific bowl? Final Answer: 4 A bakery uses \(4 \frac{2}{3}\) pounds of butter every morning. For a special event, they need to triple their usual amount. After tripling it, they realize they need an additional \(\frac{5}{2}\) pounds for the frosting. What is the total weight of butter needed for the event?

Culinary Calculations Answer KeyAnswer Key Culinary Calculations Teacher reference for multi-step fraction problems. Each solution shows the steps for calculation and the final simplified answer. 1 Step 1 (Addition): \(2 \frac{1}{2} + 5 \frac{3}{4} = 2 \frac{2}{4} + 5 \frac{3}{4} = 7 \frac{5}{4} = 8 \frac{1}{4}\) Step 2 (Subtraction): \(8 \frac{1}{4} - 3 \frac{1}{3} = 8 \frac{3}{12} - 3 \frac{4}{12} = 7 \frac{15}{12} - 3 \frac{4}{12} = 4 \frac{11}{12}\) Final Answer: \(4 \frac{11}{12}\) cups 2 Step 1 (Multiplication): \(3 \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}\) Step 2 (Subtraction): \(10 - 5 \frac{1}{4} = 9 \frac{4}{4} - 5 \frac{1}{4} = 4 \frac{3}{4}\) Final Answer: \(4 \frac{3}{4}\) cups 3 Step 1 (Division): \(12 \frac{1}{2} \div 5 = \frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}\) Step 2 (Addition): \(2 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = 2 \frac{2}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 2 \frac{5}{4} = 3 \frac{1}{4}\) Final Answer: \(3 \frac{1}{4}\) liters 4 Step 1 (Multiplication): \(4 \frac{2}{3} \times 3 = \frac{14}{3} \times 3 = 14\) Step 2 (Addition): \(14 + \frac{5}{2} = 14 + 2 \frac{1}{2} = 16 \frac{1}{2}\) Final Answer: \(16 \frac{1}{2}\) pounds 5 Step 1 (Subtraction): \(8 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{2} = 8 \frac{1}{4} - 1 \frac{2}{4} = 7 \frac{5}{4} - 1 \frac{2}{4} = 6 \frac{3}{4}\) Step 2 (Division): \(6 \frac{3}{4} \div 3 = \frac{27}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{4} = 2 \frac{1}{4}\) Final Answer: \(2 \frac{1}{4}\) gallons
