The original recipe calls for 50 portions, 6oz each

Required yield of the original recipe = 50 [tex]\times[/tex] 6 = 300 oz

The new recipe calls for 100 portions at 5oz each

Required yield of the new recipe = 100 [tex]\times[/tex] 5 = 500 oz

Conversion factor of the recipe = [tex]\frac{500}{300}[/tex] = 1.6
