While the idea of the post "I want to make as much X as possible with Y amount of ingredient" is interesting, I don't ever do that.
I generally either make the exact recipe, half, or double. All those are easily done with the same recipe and I even use the same measuring cups and do it twice or half ... and I'm good.
I really don't do 1/3rd or other proportions.

I do halves and doubles sometimes. It's hard to keep the proportions straight even at 1:2 or 2:1. I think this is due to various quirks of nervous system, either mine or humans in general.
That said, I'm not sure a kitchen slide rule would help.

PS I own two, a Pickett and a Dietzgen.
