proportioning
Splitting by ratio
Proportioning is the act of dividing or allocating something according to a ratio or plan.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—concrete proportioning determines the right mix of cement, water, and aggregate; proportioning valves in braking systems distribute hydraulic pressure between front and rear wheels.
Proper proportioning of ingredients is essential to the recipe's success.
