Answer:
Let make proportion for this question.
people : kg meat :: people : kg meat
12 : 1.4 :: 480 : x
product of extreme = product of mean
12 × x = 1.4 × 480
12x = 672
x = 672/12
x = 56
56 kg meat would be needed to serve 480 people.
I hope it's help you please mark me as brainlist.

Answer:
- 56 kg meat would be needed to serve 480 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
- A recipe that serves 12 people uses 1.4 kg of meat.
To Find:
- How much meat would be needed to serve 480 people?
Let us assume:
- x kg meat would be needed to serve 480 people.
Finding the value of x:
According to the question.
People : Meat = People : Meat
⟶ 12 : 1.4 = 480 : x
⟶ 12/1.4 = 480/x
Cross multiplication.
⟶ 12x = 480 × 1.4
⟶ 12x = 672
⟶ x = 672/12
⟶ x = 56
Hence,
- 56 kg meat would be needed to serve 480 people.
