Question

Brenda is cooking couscous. the recipe says she requires 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. how many will she need for a4 people ?

Answer 1

Answer:

120 grams per person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We analyze the question as follows :

If 480 grams is for 4 people then we need to get the amount that each person requires.

We will get this by cross multiplication :

480 grams = 4 people

? = per person.

By cross multiplication we have :

1/4 × 480 = 120 grams

So for every person we will need 120 grams of couscous.

So if we have 10 people we multiply the number of people by 120 grams.

Answer 2

Answer:

120 grams for each will be required.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question 4 people will require 480 grams of couscous. Therefore 1 person will require how much?

Thus, 4 people = 480 grams

1 person = 480 /4 (this will calculate quantity for each person).

1 person requires = 120 grams of couscous.

If there are more no. of people then,

X no. of people = X * 120 grams.

Suppose 50 people.

Then, 50 people will require = 50 * 120 = 6000 grams of couscous.
