Question

Daisy is cooking pasta. The recipe says she needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people. How many kilograms will she need for 14?

Answer 1

1.68 kilo grams are required for 14 people.

Explanation:

First of all the answer is required in kilo grams and the data given is in grams.

Lets convert the given value to kilo grams;

480 grams = 0.48 kilo grams

If 0.48 kilo grams are required to cater 4 people then how many kilo grams are required to cater 14 people?

⇒
`(0.48)/(4) *14` kilo grams

1.68 kilo grams.

Answer 2

480 grams of pasta = 480 grams x (1 kilogram / 1,000 grams) = 0.48 kilograms

Rule of three:

Pasta People
(kilograms)
0.48 → 4
x ← 14

x=(14 * 0.48)/4
x=1.68

Answer: She will need 1.68 kilograms of pasta for 14 people
