A curry recipe requires 700 g chicken. The recipe serves 4 people. If Daniel is cooking for 5 people, how much chicken should she use?
To determine how much chicken Daniel should use, we need to find the ratio of chicken needed per person in the recipe.
The recipe serves 4 people, and requires 700 g of chicken.
Thus, for 4 people, the amount of chicken used is 700 g.
To find the amount of chicken needed for 1 person, we divide the amount used for 4 people (700 g) by 4.
700 g / 4 = 175 g
Therefore, Daniel should use 175 g of chicken for each person.
Since Daniel is cooking for 5 people, we multiply the amount needed per person (175 g) by the number of people (5).
175 g x 5 = 875 g
Therefore, Daniel should use 875 g of chicken.
