Question

Daisy is cooking pasta. The recipe says she needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people. How many kilograms will she need for 14?

Answer 1

Hello Dear.

We know, if the Number of Peoples increases then the Mass of the Pasta also increases.
Hence, we can apply the Unitary Method here.

Now,
According to the Question,
∵ 4 peoples required the 480 grams of the pasta.
∴ 1 people required the 480/4 grams of the Pasta.
∴ 14 peoples required the 1680 grams of the Pasta.
    = 1.68 kg of the Pasta.

Hence, Mass of the pasta required by the 14 peoples is 1.68 kg.


Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Solution :-

this question can be solved through Unitary Method.

For 4 people, quantity of pasta needed = 480 grams

For 1 people, quantity of pasta will be needed = 480/4

For 14 people, quantity of pasta will be needed = (480*14)/4

= 6720/4

1680 grams or 1.680 kg

So, Daisy will need 1.680 kg of pasta for 14 people.
