Hello there! 1 kilogram is about 2.2 pounds. 14 * 2.2 is 30.8. 14 kg is 30.8 pounds. Let’s divide that by 80 people to get the unit rate. 30.8/80 is 0.385. Each person gets 0.385 pounds of meat. Let’s multiply to see how much meat will serve 120 people. 0.385 * 120 is 46.2. There. 46.2 pounds are needed to serve 120 people.
