Answer:

10 customers.

Explanation:

1/12 pounds of pasta = 1 customer

1 pound of pasta = 12 customers

Therefore, 5/6 pounds of pasta = 5/6 x 12

= 5 x 2

= 10 customers

Answer:

10

Explanation:

To determine the number of customers we must divide common measurements. We are given pounds as a measurement. So we can divide the the number of pounds of paste by the number of pounds served to customers:


=5/6/1/12=(5/6)\cdot{12/1}=60/6=10

The chef can serve 10 customers
