Answer 1

Given that:

• A recipe for two people required 1/4 kg of rice and 150 g of meat

To Find:

• How much meat would be needed for five people?

Let us assume:

• x g meat would be needed for five people.

Finding the value of x:

According to the question.

People : Meat = People : Meat

ㅤ↠ㅤx : 5 = 150 : 2

ㅤ↠ㅤx/5 = 150/2

ㅤ↠ㅤx/5 = 75

ㅤ↠ㅤx = 75 × 5

ㅤ↠ㅤx = 375

Hence,

• 375 g meat would be needed for five people.
