The Mathematical Formula
New Amount = Original Amount × (Desired Servings / Original Servings)

Recipe scaling uses simple proportion math:

Scale Factor = New Servings / Original Servings

New Amount = Original Amount × Scale Factor

Example: Scaling from 4 to 6 servings: Scale Factor = 6/4 = 1.5 1 cup flour × 1.5 = 1.5 cups flour

Unit conversions: - 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon - 16 tablespoons = 1 cup - 2 cups = 1 pint
