Answer 2

Answer:

She will need $1.68kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe says she needs 480 grams for 4 people.

For 14 people, we can write the following equation :

$\frac{4people}{480grams}=\frac{14people}{x}$

We can do this because there is a linear relationship between the grams of pasta she needs to cook and the amount of people that will eat.That linear relationship is in the recipe.

Finding the value of x :

$x=\frac{(14people).(480grams)}{4people}=1680grams$

She will need 1680 grams. If we want the value in kilograms :

$(1680grams).(\frac{1kilogram}{1000grams})=1.68kg$

She will need $1.68kg$ of pasta
