Scaling Down Calculator

Formula

To calculate the scaled down value:

\[ FV = IV \times R \]

Where:

\(FV\) is the Final Value or Scaled Down Value
\(IV\) is the Initial Value
\(R\) is the Scale Down Ratio

What is Scaling Down?

Scaling down is the process of reducing a certain value by a scale ratio in order to calculate an equivalent smaller number, typically for use in recipes or other applications. This helps in adjusting quantities proportionally to achieve the desired outcome.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Initial Value (\(IV\)) = 100
Scale Down Ratio (\(R\)) = 0.5

Using the formula:

\[ FV = 100 \times 0.5 = 50 \]

The Scaled Down Value is 50.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Initial Value (\(IV\)) = 200
Scale Down Ratio (\(R\)) = 0.25

Using the formula:

\[ FV = 200 \times 0.25 = 50 \]

The Scaled Down Value is 50.
