What is the formula for calculating a conversion factor to scale a recipe?

O new yield + old yield = conversion factor
O old yield x new yield = conversion factor
O new yield = old yield = conversion factor
O new yield x old yield = conversion factor

Answer: None of it

Step-by-step explanation:

None of these answers are correct because if we want to get Conversion Factor, we should divide two things.

Conversion Factor is equal to divide of New Yield and Old Yield which means that New Yield : Old Yield = Conversion Factor.

After that, for the converted recipe, we can just multiply each ingredient by our conversion factor to get it.
