A restaurant uses 3 pounds of pasta for a party of 14 people. If they are cooking pasta for a party of 56 people, what should they do?

If you would like to know how many pounds of pasta the restaurant will need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 pounds of pasta ... 14 people

x pounds of pasta = ? ... 56 people

3 * 56 = 14 * x / 14

x = 3 * 56 / 14

x = 12 pounds of pasta

The correct result would be 12 pounds of pasta.

Ok first you put 14+14+14+14=56 ok that was 14*4 so you would do 3+3+3+3=12 so 12 is your answer
