Question

A family of 8 people is entitled to a ratio of 6400 grams of sugar. What will be the sugar ratio for a family of 10 people?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey There!

Let's solve...

We need to find out the quantity of sugar of 1 person first...

So

$6400g = 8 \: people \\ \\ \therefore \: 1 \: people = \frac{6400}{8} \\ \\ simplify \\ \\ \frac{ \cancel{6400 }^{800} }{ \cancel{8}} \\ \\ = 800g \: or \: 0.8kg$

Now let's find out sugar for 10 people

$= 800 \times 10 = 8000g \: or \: 8kg$

I hope it is helpful to you..

Cheers!_________

Answer 2

6400/8=800, this leaves 800g of sugar per person.
800*10= 8000
So this family is entitled to 8000g of sugar
