Answer:

1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people. That means each person will require 400 / 4 = 100 grams.

Now, we have 12 people, so the total number of grams needed will be:

(100 g/person) * (12 people) = 1200 grams

However, we want the answer in kilograms. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram, so divide 1200 by 1000:

1200 / 1000 = 1.2 kg

The answer is 1.2 kg.

Answer:

1200g or 1.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that you need 400 grams of potatoes for 4 people to make a recipe and we want to find out how many for 12 people so

<u>Method 1</u>

First of all we would need to work out the amount needed for 1 person so,

400g = 4 people

? g     = 1 person

4 ÷ 1 = 4

400 ÷ 4 = 100

So 100g is needed for one person using that information

1 person = 100g

12 people = ? g

1 × 12 = 12

100 × 12 = 1200 g

<u>Method 2</u>

We can see that we need 400g for 4 people and we want to find out the amount for 12 people so

400g = 4 people

?g      = 12 people

12 ÷ 4 = 3

400 × 3 = 1200g

So you would 1200g or 1.2 kg of potatoes to make this recipe for 12 people

Decrease of 25% means only 855 people? Okay, so you want to backtrack. If you divide by 25% you’re going to get what it was for a 75% decrease. So divide by .75 instead. 855/.75 = 1140 unemployed residents last month

Area = length * width
Area = (n yds + 40 yds)  * 30 yds

or
Area = (30 yds * n yards) + (30 yds * 40 yards)
This is if you add the area of the rides to the area of the arcade (the first parenthesis is the rides, the second is the arcade.)

-1/3x+2x=3 3/4 what does the variable represent?
svet-max [94.6K]
Start off by combining like terms on the LHS (the terms with x in them).

So we get \frac{-1}{3}x+2x= \frac{-1}{3}x+ \frac{6}{3}x= \frac{-5}{3}x

Replacing this result with what we had before on the LHS, we get \frac{-5}{3}x=3 \frac{3}{4}= \frac{9}{4}

⇒Solve for x (divide both sides \frac{-5}{3})
⇒Don't forget about reciprocity rules when dividing.  This is the same as multiplying both sides by \frac{3}{-5}

⇒x= \frac{9}{4}( \frac{3}{-5})&#10;
⇒x= -\frac{27}{20}=-1\frac{7}{20} ***This is a proper fraction
