Proportionality is also present in the kitchen. When we have to make a meal for a number of
diners different from the one that appears in the recipe, we have to readjust the ingredients
proportionally so that the result is equally tasty. When are we going to
make the purchase, we are awaiting the different offers to buy at the best price and the
possible discounts. When we have to distribute the expenses of a celebration according to
the number of guests.. All this is proportionality and therefore mathematics.
