Yes, it is; except that the chosen number cannot be zero.
If the quantities are related linearly, then the operation would mean SCALING Otherwise it is just operations on the two quantities by a constant
Scaling is when you multiply or divide two quantities by the same number.
To scale quantities proportionally, you simply multiply or divide the quantity by the scaling factor. For example, if you want to double a quantity, you would multiply it by 2. If you want to scale a quantity by a different factor, you would use that factor in the multiplication or division process accordingly.
No, it is not.
Scaling- when you multiply or divide equivalent fractions

scaling up
The amount by which you multiply something to scale it is known as the scaling factor. This factor determines how much larger or smaller the original value becomes when multiplied. For example, a scaling factor of 2 doubles the original value, while a scaling factor of 0.5 halves it. In essence, the scaling factor directly influences the proportionate change in size or magnitude of the original quantity.
To convert recipes for different yields, first determine the desired quantity and then calculate the scaling factor by dividing the new yield by the original yield. Multiply each ingredient's measurement by this scaling factor to adjust the quantities accordingly. It's also important to consider adjustments in cooking times and temperatures, as they may vary with larger or smaller batches. Finally, taste and adjust seasonings as needed, since flavor concentration can change with batch size.
