Answer 1

1200

Explanation:

Answer 2

1200

Explanation:

60 x

- = -

100 800

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1) 800 x 60= 48,000

Divide by 100= 480

x=480

2) Multiply 60 by 8.

Now there are another 2 ways to go.

1) 480 x

- = -

800 2000

OR

2) 60 x

- = -

100 2000

I recommend the second option for both. It is easier. The second option allows you to find and equal ratio, with less of the hassle.

To get 2000, 100 must be multiplied by 20. So.... multiply 60 by 20 to get a equal ratio.

Your answer is 1200. Meaning 1200 adults cooked dinner more than four nights per week.

I hope this helps you significantly
