Question

At a hot dog stand , they serve regular and footlong hot dog at a ratio of 3 to 2 . How many footlongs will be served if there is a total of 80 hot dogs served

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer: 32 footlongs will be served

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of footlong hot dog served at the hot dog stand.

The hot dog stand serve regular and foot long hot dog at a ratio of 3 to 2. The total ratio would be the sum of the proportion of regular hot dog and the proportion of the foot long. It becomes 2 + 3 = 5

If the total number of hotdogs served at the stand is 80, therefore, the number of foot long hot dog,x that will be served would be served would be

x = 2/5 × 80 = 32
