Question

Tom is making couscous. The recipe says he needs 480 grams of couscous for 4 people. How much does he need for 14?

Answer 1

Answer:

1680 grams need for 14 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a statement,

Weight of couscous needed for 4 people = 480 grams.

We have to find :

Weight of couscous needed for 14 people.

So,

Weight of couscous needed for 1 people = $\frac{480}{4}=120\:grams$

Thus,

Weight of couscous needed for 14 people = 120× 14 = 1680 grams

Therefore, 1680 grams need for 14 people.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 1,680.

Tom needs 1,680 grams of couscous for 14 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is mentioned that Tom needs 480 grams of couscous for 4 people.

So, for 1 person, he needs total amount of couscous/number of people = 480/4 = 120 grams of couscous.

Hence, for 14 people, he needs 120 * 14 = 1,680 grams of couscous.
