Question

At a hot dog stand, they serve regular and foot long hot dogs at a ratio of 3 to 2.Based on this ratio how many foot long hot dogs will be served if there are a total of 80 hot dogs served?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 32 foot long hot dogs that will be served.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of regular to foot long hot dogs is given by

3:2

Total number of hot dogs served = 80

So, Number of foot long hot will be served is given by

`(2)/(5)* 80\\\\=(2* 80)/(5)\\\\=(160)/(5)\\\\=32`

Hence, there are 32 foot long hot dogs that will be served.

Answer 2

32 Foot long hot dogs

Explanation:

A hot dog stand serves 3 regular hot dogs for every 2 foot long hot dogs. This means they sell 3+2 = 5 together.

If they sell 80 in one day, then you find how many of each by solving the equation 5x = 80.

5x = 80

x = 16.

So 3*16 is the number of regular which is 48.

So 2*16 is the number of foot long which is 32.
