It is true that to determine the recipe conversion factor, the desired yield is divided by the original yield.

Option A

Explanation:

Recipe Conversion Factor can be determined by dividing the desired yield by the original yield. Once the RCF is found, we need to multiply all the ingredients that is being used in the recipe by it.  

Ounces or pounds are generally used to express both Desired and original yields.

Consider that you have a recipe to make 12 plum cakes and you require a recipe to produce 20 plum cakes, then the RCF can be calculated as 20/12 which is equal to 1.66. Then this Recipe Conversion Factor is multiplied with each ingredients amount present in the recipe.
