Answer 2

Explanation:

The ingredient of recipe for 5 person. Carly has to make recipe for 15 person.

Solution :

Ingredient for 5 required for 1 person required for 15 persons

Chicken = 400 g = 80 gram (80×15) = 1200 g.

peppers = 600 g. = 120 gram (120×15) = 1800 g.

onions = 70 g = 14 grams (14×15) = 210 g

spice mix = 20 g. = 4 gram (4×15) = 60 g

tortillas = 10 g. = 2 (2×15) = 30

∵ Carly has the amount of chicken = 700 g.

∴ Carly needs the amount of chicken = 1200 - 700 = 500 grams

∵ Carly has the amount of peppers = 800 g.

∴ She needs the amount of peppers = 1800 - 800 = 1000 g. or 1 kg.

∵ Carly has the amount of onion = 200 g.

∴ Carly needs the amount of onion = 210 - 200 = 10 grams

∵ Carly has the amount of spice mix = 50 g.

∴ She needs the amount of spice mix = 60 - 50 = 10 grams

∵ Carly has the amount of tortillas = 16

∴ She needs the amount of tortillas = 30 - 16 = 14

Carly needs 500 g of chicken, 1 kg peppers, 10 g onions, 10 g spice mix and 14 tortillas.
