Cooking Ratio Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Amount of Ingredient B (\(B\)):

\[ B = \frac{A}{A:B} \]

Where:

\(B\) is the Amount of Ingredient B (grams)
\(A\) is the Amount of Ingredient A (grams)
\(A:B\) is the Ratio of Ingredient A to Ingredient B

What is a Cooking Ratio?

A cooking ratio is a proportional relationship between ingredients used in recipes. It ensures that the balance of flavors and textures is maintained, regardless of the quantity being prepared. Ratios are fundamental in cooking and baking, allowing for scalability and consistency in dishes.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Ingredient A (\(A\)) = 200 grams
Ratio of A to B (\(A:B\)) = 2

Using the formula:

\[ B = \frac{200}{2} = 100 \text{ grams} \]

The Amount of Ingredient B is 100 grams.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Amount of Ingredient A (\(A\)) = 300 grams
Ratio of A to B (\(A:B\)) = 3

Using the formula:

\[ B = \frac{300}{3} = 100 \text{ grams} \]

The Amount of Ingredient B is 100 grams.
