Pre-calculus Recipe Project

Due Date is Tuesday 5/14.

 Choose a recipe that has at least ten (10) ingredients.

 Blank out all the amounts in the recipe

 Write a problem that the answer comes out to the amount that is needed for that step
of the recipe. The problems can include any rational problem (characteristics or
solving). There may not be more than 2 problems of the same type (for example
there may not be 3 questions about horizontal asymptotes).

 Include a second sheet with the problems worked out and the amounts filled in.

 This project will count as a test grade.

 An example is attached. DO NOT copy any of the problems from my example!
