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.
