multiply everything by 4. 
2.25 ( 4) = 9
2(4) =8
.75(4)=3
1(4)=4
2(4)=8

calculista

we know that

the basic recipe for split pea soup serves \(8\) people

so

by proportion

Find the amount of ingredients needed to serve \(32\) people

\(\frac{1}{8} \frac{recipe}{people}=\frac{x}{32} \frac{recipe}{people}\\\\8*x=32\\\\x=32/8\\\\x=4\ recipes\)

Mutiply the ingredients by \(4\)

dried split peas; \((4)*2\frac{1}{4}\ c=9\ c\)

water; \((4)*2qt=8qt\)

chopped onion; \((4)*\frac{3}{4}c=3c\)

chopped celery; \((4)*1c=4c\)

ham shank \((4)*2lb=8lb\)
