Question

o   1/2 cup butter

o   1 cup dark brown sugar

o   2 tsp of vanilla

o   1 egg

o   1 cup all purpose flour

o   1/2 teaspoon baking powder

o   1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

o   1/8 teaspoon baking soda

o   1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

​****If i use a dozen eggs and 3 sticks of butter, how many measures of the other ingredients will i need?

Answer 1

1 stick contains 8 tablespoons so that 3 sticks equal 24 tablespoons. Further, 1 tablespoon = 1/16 cup so that 24 tablespoons = 24/16 cups = 3/2 cups.

The recipe uses 1/2 cup butter, so, using 3/2 cups of butter implies that every other ingredient in the recipe becomes 3 times.

However, the recipe uses 1 egg only, so, using a dozen eggs mean that every other ingredient in the recipe becomes 12 times.

There is a contradiction/inconsistency here.
