Answer:

30 servers.

Explanation:

We have been given that Stan's steakhouse has a server to cook ratio of 5: 2.

First of all, we will find ratio of server to all employees would be
5:(5+2)=5:7.

We will use proportion to solve our given problem as:


\frac{\text{Server}}{\text{Total employees}}=(5)/(7)


\frac{\text{Server}}{42}=(5)/(7)


\frac{\text{Server}}{42}* 42=(5)/(7)* 42


\text{Server}=5* 6


\text{Server}=30

Therefore, there are 30 servers does employ at Stan's steakhouse.
