The formula to calculate the Conversion Factor is:
\[ CF = \frac{DY}{RY} \]
Where:
A conversion factor is a numerical ratio of the desired yield of a recipe to the original yield of a recipe. For example, if the recipe normally serves 5 portions, but you would like to increase that to 10 portions, then the conversion factor would be \(10/5 = 2\).
The conversion factor is used to adjust the quantities of ingredients in a recipe to achieve the desired yield while maintaining the same proportions. This is commonly used in cooking and chemistry to convert recipes to new sizes.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ CF = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \]
The Conversion Factor (CF) is 2.
