Question

Brenda is cooking couscous. The recipe says she requires 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. How many will she need for 14?


could you help me answer that?

Answer 1

For four people she needs =480gms
For one she requires=480/4=120gms
For fourteen people she requires= 120×14=1680 gms or 1.68kg

Answer 2

Answer:

1680 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information we need to get the amount required for one person.

480 grams of Couscous for 4 people, how much is needed for 1 person.

By cross multiplication we have :

480/4 × 1 = 120

1 person requires 120 g of couscous.

We need the amount required by 14 people.

If 1 person requires 120 g how much will 14 people require?

14 × 120 = 1680 grams

We will therefore need 1680 g for Couscous for 14 people.
