If 24 cans of soup serve 96 people, how many cans should Ann buy to serve 28 people EXPLAIN!
Thanks

Answer 1

divide 96 by 24 and you get 4

that means its 4 people per can

then you do 28x4 and you get

ANSWER= 112

Answer 2

24 cans/ 96 people = x cans/28 people

using cross products

24 * 28 = 96 *x

divide by 96 on each side

24*28/96 = x

672/96=x

7=x

You will need 7 cans

or

96/24= 4 people per can

28 people /4 people per can = 7 cans
