Proportion Misunderstanding

Remember, it's not doubling the amount - it’s adding 50% more.

Not Multiplicative

It's additive; you're putting 50% more on top of the original, not multiplying by 1.5.

Illustration for Not Multiplicative
They didn't double the recipe; they just used half as much again of each ingredient.
