Answer:

Use [tex]5[/tex] times as many potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a proportion

[tex]\frac{4}{12}\frac{lb}{people}=\frac{x}{60}\frac{lb}{people}\\ \\x=4*60/12\\ \\x=20\ lb[/tex]

Original quantity of potatoes------> [tex]4\ lb[/tex]

New quantity of potatoes------->  [tex]5*4=20\ lb[/tex]

therefore

Use [tex]5[/tex] times as many potatoes
