Demystifying - Scaling a recipe

Drills

Scaling every ingredient by the same factor, and serving-size questions.

Author note — to cover

Cover scaling ingredient lists by integer, fractional and decimal factors such as 1.5 or 2/3, converting between serving counts both ways, and how-many-can-be-made questions limited by one ingredient. Fraction arithmetic assumed from Number. Value comparison is best-buy-comparisons; mixtures stated as ratios are Ratio's mixing-and-concentrations. Both tiers. (R5, R10)
