That's correct. He needs four times as much of everything as the recipe calls for, and you've worked out the answers properly.

Yes. The answer is correct. Sine the apple pies serves, 6, and Bob wanted to serve 24, you need to multiply all the ingredients by four (since 6 * 4 = 24).
3.5 x 4= 14
2.75 x 4= 11
1/8 x 4= 4/8 = 1/2
2 1/8 x 4= 8 + 1/2= 8 1/2
5 x 4 =20
The answer is correct.

If the recipe serves 6 and he has 24 people, then he'll need four times the ingredients. So multiply each number by 4.

you are absolutely correct. since he needs to serve 4 times as many people, he needs to use 4 times as much of each ingredient.
well done.
