A Function to Scale a Recipe
Write def scale_recipe(servings, base_servings=4) returning the scaling factor. Wrapping this in a function means the same calculation works for any serving count, called wherever it's needed, instead of copy-pasted arithmetic.
🎯 Your Task
Please add the exact code shown in the light gray box below to your editor.Do not delete your previous code, just insert these new lines in the correct place!
def scale_recipe(servings, base_servings=4):
return servings / base_servings
factor = scale_recipe(8)
print(f"Scale factor: {factor}x")
