Answer 2

Answer:

7800 grams of rice will be needed to feed 26 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that on  average 4 people can eat 1200g of rice.

Let $x$ be the amount of rice needed to feed 26 people.

We can calculate the amount of rice needed to feed 1 person.

$amount\ of \ rice \ needed\ for \ one \ person\ = \dfrac{1200}{4} =300g$

So,

$amount\ of \ rice \ needed \ for \ 26 \ people = 300\times 26=7800 g$

Thus 26 people need 7 kilograms 800 grams of rice.
