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.
