Question

Ben's dad is making a large pot of pasta sauce that calls for 3.5 kilograms of tomatoes. If he triples the amount of tomatoes for the recipe, how many grams of tomatoes will he use? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: 10,500 gm

Explanation:

Given

Pasta requires 3.5 kg of tomatoes

we know,
`1\ kg=1000\ mL`

If the amount is triples, the quantity of tomatoes is
`3* 3.5=10.5\ kg`

`\Rightarrow 10.5\ kg\equiv 10.5* 1000=10,500\ gm`

Thus, he uses 10,500 gm of tomatoes
