Problema Solution

If 5 lb of pasta salad serves 14 people, how much pasta salad should you bring to a picnic with 49 people.

Let 'x' represent the amount of pasta needed to server 49 people.

Now we can write the following proportion:

x : 49 = 5 : 14

........

........

x = 17.5 lb

17.5 lb of past is needed to server 49 people at the picnic.
