A rice dish for 8 servings uses 360 grams of rice. A cook claims that 364 grams is enough for 12 servings because four servings were added. Which amount corrects this recipe-scaling error?
Explicación
Going from 8 to 12 servings uses a factor of 1.5, so the rice amount is 360 times 1.5, or 540 grams. The claimed 364 grams adds the numerical change in servings to a mass, leaving almost the same rice amount for a much larger batch.
