Question

9. Bianca is hosting a dinner party for 10 people. The main course's recipe states

that 400 g of sausage and 500 g of dry pasta is enough for four people.
a) How much sausage will she need?
b) How much pasta will she need?​

Answer 1

a) 1000 grams

b) 1250 grams

Explanation:

Find out how much grams of sausage and dry pasta she needs for each person.

4 people = 400 g

1 person = 400 ÷ 4 = 100 g (sausage)

4 people = 500 g

1 person = 500 ÷ 4 = 125 g (dry pasta)

Find out how much grams of sausage and dry pasta is needed for 10 people.

10 person = 100 x 10 = 1000g (sausage)

10 person = 125 x 10 = 1250g (dry pasta)
