Re: Chef Matthew served a rice and sauce dish by mixing already

You're welcome, venky964! Here are my thoughts on your question:

This question may be as difficult as a 700-level GMAT question, but it's difficult for some of the wrong reasons. In particular, people may miss it because it's not worded precisely enough, something that you will not see on GMAT questions (at least those that count towards your score). As it is worded, we have to make some assumptions about the ratio of the amount of pecov in the rice to the amount of pecov in the sauce, because it's entirely possible that the rice has a much smaller amount of pecov than the sauce, even though the ratio of rice to sauce is 3:2. If it were worded precisely enough, saying something like "the ratio of pecov in the rice to pecov in the sauce is 3:2", I'd guess it would be more in the 600-700 difficulty range.
