A recipe for the dish, halwa, for 4 people has the following ingredients in the given proportions — Rava: 40%, Sugar: 40%, and Ghee: 20%. (i) If you want to make halwa for 8 people, what is the proportion of each of the above ingredients? (ii) If the total weight of the ingredients is 2 kg, how much rava, sugar and ghee are present?

(i)
Answer

Rava: 40%, Sugar: 40%, Ghee: 20% (proportions remain unchanged)

(ii)
Answer

Rava: 800 g, Sugar: 800 g, Ghee: 400 g

Explanation

(i) When doubling a recipe, the proportions/percentages stay the same; only the total quantity changes. (ii) 40% of 2000 g = 800 g each for rava and sugar; 20% of 2000 g = 400 g for ghee
