A curry recipe requirs 700g chicken. the recipe serves 4 if Danielle is cooking for 5 people, how much chicken should she use?
Danielle should use 875g of chicken.
(5/4)700 = 875 yes
To determine how much chicken Danielle should use, we need to adjust the recipe based on the number of servings.
The original recipe serves 4 people and requires 700g of chicken. To calculate how much chicken she needs for 5 people, we can use the following equation:
Amount of chicken needed for 5 people = (Amount of chicken from original recipe) x (Number of people to serve) / (Number of people in original recipe)
Substituting the values into the equation:
Amount of chicken needed for 5 people = 700g x 5 / 4
Calculating the expression:
Amount of chicken needed for 5 people = 350g x 5
Amount of chicken needed for 5 people = 1750g
Therefore, Danielle should use 1750g of chicken for 5 people.
To find out how much chicken Danielle should use, we need to calculate the amount of chicken per serving and then multiply it by the number of servings needed.
1. Determine the amount of chicken per serving:
The recipe requires 700g of chicken for 4 servings, so we can calculate the amount of chicken per serving by dividing 700g by 4:
700g / 4 = 175g
2. Calculate the total amount of chicken needed:
Since Danielle is cooking for 5 people, we need to multiply the amount of chicken per serving by the number of servings needed:
175g * 5 = 875g
Therefore, Danielle should use 875g of chicken for 5 people.
