Hi there,
First of all, thank you for reading this and trying to help me!
I've just started with Culinary Maths (on my own) and I got this quiz:
"You are making dinner for 13 guests. One of the recipes you are making calls for 3 cups of chopped onion. How many pounds of onion should you order?" (Yield%=89)
I know the answer is 2# (rounded to 2 pounds) but I can't understand the process. How can you go from cups (when you don't know the weight, the only thing you know is "1 cup = 8 fluid oz") to pounds? I know that for water works "1 cup = 8 fluid ounces = 8 ounces" but how about onions?
Thank you so much for your help.
Esmeralda.
