Answer:

20/15 = x/80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of burgers and kids is constant, so we can write the following proportion


\frac{20\text{ burgers}}{15\text{ kids}}=\frac{x}{80\text{ kids}}

Where x is the number of burgers that feed 80 kids. So, the answer is

20/15 = x/80
