Question

*Help needed*

Kay was trying to triple a salsa recipe. Her recipe for one batch called for 1.232 milliliters of red hot pepper sauce. She thought she added three of that amount for three batches. When people dipped their chips into the salsa, it was too spicy to eat. What could she have done wrong?

Answer 1

She might have confused the measures or perhaps had a problem with the tools she used to measure it, given that in order to measure 3.696 ml, she would have to use micropipets (normal pipetts go until 0.5 ml min), and given that she was cooking she probably used another tool.

The reasoning itself was good, if she wanted to triple the sause she should add 3 times the red hot pepper sause she usually used (other brand might be more spicy)

Explanation:

Answer 2

She might've put 1.232*4 ml of pepper sauce instead of 1.232*3 ml of pepper sauce
