Question

daisy is cooking pasta. the recipe says she needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people. how many kilograms would she need for 14.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.68 kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : She needs 480 grams of pasta for 4 people.

To Find : kilograms would she need for 14.

Solution :

She need 480 grams for 4 people

First convert 480 grams in kilograms

Since 1000 grams = 1 kilograms

So, 1 gram = 1/1000 kilograms

So, 480 grams = 480/1000 kilograms

Thus she need pasta for 4 people = 0.480 kilograms

So, she need pasta for 1 people = 0.480/4 = 0.12

Now, she need pasta for 14 people = 0.12 *14 = 1.68 kilograms .

Hence she need 1.68 kilograms pasta for 14 people .

Answer 2

So to solve this you would need to do 14 / 4 to find how many more people there are, and that gives you 3.5 Now you would need to multiply 480 by 3.5, giving you 1680.

So the answer is 1.68 kg
