Exercise 24

Avg difficulty 2.5

For each situation determine how to compensate and keep the quantities proportional.

A recipe for sabayon calls for 2 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and ¼ cup of white wine. After cracking the eggs, you start measuring the sugar, but accidentally put in 4 tablespoons of sugar. How can you compensate?
