?g chicken
? g peppers
? g onion
? g spice mix tortillas

Answer 1

Answer:

Chicken = 500 g

Peppers = 1 kg

Onions = 10 g

Spice mix = 10 g

Tortillas = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

5 × 3 = 15

What the recipe indicates she needs

400 × 3 = 1200

600 × 3 = 1800

70 × 3 = 210

20 × 3 = 60

10 × 3 = 30

Subtract what she needs from what she has

1200 - 700 =  500 g

1800 - 800 = 1000 g

210 - 200 = 10 g

60 - 50 = 10 g

30 - 16 = 14 tortillas
