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.

There were s students at a summer camp in 2010. In 2011, there were half as many students as the previous year. In 2012, there w
valentina_108 [34]

The expression that would represent the total number of students at the summer camp for all three years is (b) 5.5s - 54

<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>

Let the number of students in 2010 be s.

So, we have:

  • Year 2011 = 1/2s i.e. half as many students in 2010
  • Year 2012 = s - 54 i.e. 54 students less than 2010

The total number of students is:

Total = s + 1/2s + s - 54

Evaluate

Total = 9s/2 - 54

Rewrite s:

Total = 5.5s - 54

Hence, the expression that would represent the total number of students at the summer camp for all three years is (b) 5.5s - 54
