anonymous · Answer

I get 125 times but now i need to convert the ingredients. Do I need to multiply by 125 to each ingredient?

anonymous · Answer

For example: 1 1/2 cups of butter - softened. Do I need to multiply 125 * 1 1/2

anonymous · Answer

yes and yes and maybe making the fraction improper will make the multiplying easier

125 * 3/2 = 375/2   ...or maybe not
