Demonstrate recipe conversion.
Demonstration should include
- performing unit conversions
- explaining that the conversion factor (CF) is the number that results from dividing the desired yield by the yield stated in a recipe
- explaining that multiplying the amount of any ingredient in a recipe by the CF gives the amount of the ingredient to use in the converted recipe
- performing conversions of recipes to increase or decrease the yield by specified amounts.
