Question:
I am trying to create a coffee ratio calculator. My slider works to select the ratio, but the amount of coffee does not calculate how much water to use or interact with the ratio selected. Here is my broken code:
Issue:
When I change the amount of coffee in the input field, the recommended water amount does not update to reflect the selected ratio. How can I fix this issue so that the coffee amount interacts properly with the selected ratio to calculate the water amount?
