300ml red wine

how much of the other ingredients should she use?

Answer 1

Answer:

600 g chopped tomatoes

450 ml stock

225 ml red wine

Step-by-step explanation:

So the trick to the answer is ratios. In how much ratios are we taking the ingredients? For 400 g minced beef we need 800 g tomatoes, that means for 1 g beef we will need 2 g tomatoes(800 ÷ 400 = 2). Ratio of chopped tomatoes is 800 ÷ 400 = 2. So for 300 g beef we will need 300 × 2 = 600 g tomatoes. Similarly ration of stock by beef is 600 ÷ 400 = 1.5. So for 300 g beef we will need 300 × 1.5 = 450 ml stock. Last and final, ratio of chopped tomatoes is 300 ÷ 400 = 0.75.  So for 300 g beef we will need 300 × 0.75 = 225 ml red wine.
