What is meant by proportion of ingredients?
"proportion" means how much of one ingredient as compared to other ingredients. For instance the proportion of fat to flour in shortcrust pastry is twice the amount of flour to the amount of fat used.
What is happening when you rub fats into flour?
The fibers of flour are long and stringy. When they get wet they become gooey. Thus, shortening. The fats shorten the fibers and keep the flour from becoming a glob. Oil works on the same principle. Answer When you rub fats into flour you are surrounding the little bits of fat with flour which will result in a flakey texture in your finished product

What is it to mix 1 part of something to 2 parts of something?
Mixing two things with 1 part of one to 2 parts of another is setting a ratio. The ratio of 1 to 2, or 1:2 will insure "good results" in the activity. If 1 pound of sugar is mixed with 2 pounds of flour, you'll have a 1:2 ratio. If you mix 2 pounds of sugar with 4 pounds of flour, you'll have that same 1:2 ratio. Ratio, or proportion as some call it, insures that a cook, baker or another individual combining ingredients to make anything will end up with the desired results at the end of the mixing operation. The ingredients will be in the mixture in the correct ratio or proportion.
Is fat percentage of a food ordinal or interval scale?
It is actually a ratio scale, which is more demanding than an interval scale.
