this is the answer I calculate .If the answer is wrong, I am sorry about this

Answer 2

She will need
`1.68kg`

Explanation:

The recipe says she needs 480 grams for 4 people.

For 14 people, we can write the following equation :

`(4people)/(480grams)=(14people)/(x)`

We can do this because there is a linear relationship between the grams of pasta she needs to cook and the amount of people that will eat.That linear relationship is in the recipe.

Finding the value of x :

`x=((14people).(480grams))/(4people)=1680grams`

She will need 1680 grams. If we want the value in kilograms :

`(1680grams).((1kilogram)/(1000grams))=1.68kg`

She will need
`1.68kg` of pasta
