Answer:

720

Explanation:

The ratio given is 3 hotdog : 5 people

To get Hotdog per people, we divide 3 by 5, to get:

3/5 = 0.6

That is 0.6 hotdog per person.

Since, we have 1200 people attending, we can multiply 0.6 by 1200 to get the number of hotdogs needed.

0.6 * 1200 = 720

We need 720 hot dogs
