(5 L ) x ((1000 mL/1L) x (1 cup/236.58 mL) x (7.7 ounces/1 cup) x (1 recipe/6 ounces), THIS IS CALLED DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

 

==========================================================================

See below:

 

5 L of oil x  1000 ml  x      1  cup      x   7.7 ounces x    1   recipe

                     1L            236.58 ml            1 cup          6 ounces

 

Multiply numerators together, multiply denominators together, execute final division,

Answer 2

It depends on how you are scaling the recipe. Considering 1 ea is literally 1 each converting to ea, in essence each, is essentially the same in a mathematical sense. But in food preparation spices and flavor additives can have a powerful affect. So it does depend on how you are scaling and what you need to accomplish as an end product.
