A recipe calls for 3 pounds of pasta to serve 14 people.
If a restaurant is cooking pasta for a party of 56
people, what should they do?
Use 42
more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for.
Use twice as much pasta as the recipe calls for.
Use 12
more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for.
Use 4
times as much pasta as the recipe calls for.
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
yes, you will use 12 lbs of pasta.
That is 9 lbs more than the recipe calls for.
The answer is 4 times as much as the recipe calls for.
Apologies for the error in my previous response. You are correct. To serve a party of 56 people, the restaurant should use 4 times as much pasta as the recipe calls for. This means they should use 3 pounds x 4 = 12 more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
To determine how much pasta the restaurant should use to cook for a party of 56 people, we can calculate the ratio between the number of people in the recipe (14) and the number of people the restaurant needs to serve (56).
The ratio is 56 divided by 14, which equals 4.
Now, let's apply this ratio to the amount of pasta called for in the recipe:
3 pounds x 4 = 12 pounds
Therefore, the restaurant should use 12 more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for.
To answer this question, we need to determine the amount of pasta required to serve 56 people based on the given recipe.
The recipe calls for 3 pounds of pasta to serve 14 people.
First, we need to find out the amount of pasta required per person:
Amount of pasta per person = Total pasta / Total people
Amount of pasta per person = 3 pounds / 14 people
Amount of pasta per person = 0.214 pounds (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
Now, we can calculate the total amount of pasta required for 56 people:
Total pasta for 56 people = Amount of pasta per person * Total people
Total pasta for 56 people = 0.214 pounds * 56 people
Total pasta for 56 people = 11.984 pounds (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
Therefore, the restaurant should use approximately 12 more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for.
To serve 14 people, the recipe calls for 3 pounds of pasta. Therefore, to serve 56 people, the restaurant should use 4 times as much pasta as the recipe calls for.
Therefore, the restaurant should use 3 pounds x 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 more pounds of pasta than the recipe calls for.
