No, I mean multiply 10 by .138, 7.2, 720, or 8.2 and see which one gives you 72 but dividing 72 by 10 works too.

anonymous · Answer

72

sagewilson · Answer

No, that's incorrect. "Original recipe makes 10 portions, the chef needs 72" he needs 72 portions so you need to turn 10 into 72 using multiplication, or you could divide 72 by 10 which will also give you the answer.

No it's not .138, if you were to multiply 10 by .138 you'd get 1.38 not 72
