Show by calculations that the recipe can be made 25 times with a 10 kg bag of potatoes.
Answer:
Yes, the recipe can be made 25 times with a 10 kg bag of potatoes. Here's how to calculate it:
The recipe can be made 25 times with a 10 kg bag of potatoes is shown below.
How to calculate recipes:
To make the recipe once, 5 potatoes are needed. Therefore, to make the recipe 25 times:
5 potatoes/recipe x 25 recipes = 125 potatoes
We know that there are 50 potatoes in a 10kg bag. To find out how many bags are needed, set up a proportion:
50 potatoes / 10 kg = 125 potatoes / x kg
Cross-multiplying:
50x = 1250
Solving for x:
x = 1250 / 50
x = 25
Therefore, we need a 10kg bag of potatoes to make the recipe 25 times.
