Question

7. 40 kg of rice is needed to serve 160 people. How
much rice would be needed for 60 people ?​

Answer 1

Rice needed to serve 160 people = 40kg
Rice needed to serve 60 people = x

160x = 60*40
160x = 240
x = 240/160
x = 1.5kg of rice

Answer 2

Rice needed for 160 person is 40kg
Then,
40/160=0.205
Rice needed for one person is 0.205 kg.
0.205*60=12.300kg
Hence, rice needed for 60 people is 12.300kg
