Question

What is the answer to the recipe says she needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people. how many kilograms will she need for 14?

Answer 1

Use a proprtion to solve:
`(480 grams)/(4 people) = (x)/(14 people)`
Cross Multiply: 480 · 14 = 4 · x
Divide both sides by 4:
`(480 x 14)/(4) = x`
1680 = x

Answer: she will need 1680 grams
