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

Answer:
10 spiders and 12 ants
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to create two equations
s = # of spiders
a = # of ants
s + a = 22 heads
since each spider and ant has one head
8s + 6a = 152 legs
since every spider has 8 legs and every ant has 6
s + a = 22 can be turned into s = 22 - a
now use substitution
8(22 - a) + 6a = 152
176 - 8a + 6a = 152
176 - 2a = 152
24 = 2a
a = 12
now that you have the number of ants you can solve for the number of spiders
s + a = 22
s + 12 = 22
s = 10
