Answer:

1000 g of rice

Explanation:

Recipe states that every 400g of rice feeds 2 people. Thus, it can be concluded through division (400 ÷ 2) that every person is fed with 200g of rice.

If you want to feed 5 people, then multiply 200 (amount of grams that feeds 1 person) by 5 (the number of people)

200 × 5 = 1000

1000 grams of rice is needed for 5 people.
