Question

A recipe for 4 servings requires salt and pepper to be added in the ratio of 2:3. If the recipe is adjusted from 4 to 8 servings, what is the ratio of salt and pepper that must now be added

Answer 1

4:6 because for 4 servings it requires 2:3 so 8 servings is twice the 4 which increases the 2:3 ratio for 4 servings to 4:6 salt & pepper that needs to be added for 8 servings

Answer 2

Is this a trick question ???

Why would the ratio of salt to pepper change if you doubled the recipe?

The amount of salt and pepper would double, but not the ratio...

the answer should be 2:3
