A curry recipe requires 700g chicken the recipe serves 4 people. If Danielle is cooking for 5 people how much chicken should she use

Answer 1

To calculate this, we can set up a ratio.

The original recipe serves 4 people and requires 700g of chicken.

We can set up the ratio as follows:

4 people / 700g of chicken = 5 people / x g of chicken

To solve for x (the amount of chicken Danielle should use), we can cross-multiply and divide:

4x = 5 * 700

4x = 3500

x = 3500 / 4

x = 875

Therefore, Danielle should use 875g of chicken.
