The answer is 9, more or less, the part relating to more vs less and the amount (grams vs kilograms) are left up to you to find out.

I know Borek is going to have a conniption over this

Suppose you were Mark Wahlberg from movie The Shooter, and you needed to figure out how much salt to add to water to infuse into you as an IV solution. How many tea spoons do you think you will need to add to make it an isotonic solution?

Borek

So you are wrong :yawn:
