Answer:

1,680 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can create a proportion using this setup:

grams/people=grams/people

The recipe needs 480 grams for 4 people and x (unknown-what we are trying to find) grams for 14 people.

480 grams/4 people=x grams/14

480/4=x/14

Now, we have to solve for x-the grams needed for 14 people. To do this, we have to get x by itself. x is being divided by 14. To undo this, multiply both sides by 14, because multiplication is the opposite of division.

14(480/4)=(x/14)14

14(480/4)=x

14*120=x

1680=x

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

When you add their numbers together you get 207 . Jen's number is 9 more than Carrie's, and Fran's number is 3 less than Jen's n
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: Fran's number is 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Jen's number.

Let y represent Carrie's number.

Let z represent Fran's number.

When you add their numbers together you get 207. This means that

x + y + z = 207 - - - - - - - - - -1

Jen's number is 9 more than Carrie's number. It means that

y = x - 9

Fran's number is 3 less than Jen's number. It means that

z = x - 3

Substituting y = x - 9 and z = x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes.

x + x - 9 + x - 3 = 207

3x - 12 = 207

3x = 207 + 12 = 219

x = 219/3 = 73

y = x - 9 = 73 - 9

y = 64

z = x - 3 = 73 - 3

z = 70
