Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the amount of cake flour needed.

    The original recipe uses 2 cups of cake flour. To make the recipe four times bigger, multiply the amount by 4.

    Cake flour=2 cups×4\text{Cake flour} = 2 \text{ cups} \times 4 Cake flour=8 cups\text{Cake flour} = 8 \text{ cups}
  2. Calculate the amount of baking powder needed.

    The original recipe uses 4 teaspoons of baking powder. To make the recipe four times bigger, multiply the amount by 4.

    Baking powder=4 teaspoons×4\text{Baking powder} = 4 \text{ teaspoons} \times 4 Baking powder=16 teaspoons\text{Baking powder} = 16 \text{ teaspoons}
  3. Calculate the amount of cream needed.

    The original recipe uses 34\frac{3}{4} cup of cream. To make the recipe four times bigger, multiply the amount by 4.

    Cream=34 cup×4\text{Cream} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ cup} \times 4 Cream=3×44 cups\text{Cream} = \frac{3 \times 4}{4} \text{ cups} Cream=3 cups\text{Cream} = 3 \text{ cups}

    Mpho will need:
    Cake flour: 8 cups\boxed{\text{8 cups}}
    Baking powder: 16 teaspoons\boxed{\text{16 teaspoons}}
    Cream: 3 cups\boxed{\text{3 cups}}
