Instructions & tips
Your task is to use functions to fill in the shaded cells above.
Maximum and minimum:
For each ingredient, what is the biggest amount any of the recipes need of it (use the MAX function), and what
is the smallest amount (use the MIN function)?
Imagine somebody wants to bake one of every recipe on the spreadsheet (for a really big party!). Using the
Total
SUM function in the Total column, work out how much of each ingredient they need for doing that.
Will 1 litre be enough milk? What about 1kg of caster sugar and 1kg of plain flour?
