600ml stock
300ml red wine

kubby only has 300g minced beef
how much of all the other ingredients should she use???

Answer 1

600g chopped tomatoes

450ml of stock

225ml of red wine

Explanation:

Times them all by 0.75

Answer 2

If kubby has only 300g of minced beef, he should use 600g chopped tomatoes, 450ml stock, and 225ml red wine.

Reason:

300g of 400g is a 25% decrease, so all other ingredients must be multiplied by .75 to even the distribution.
