Question

A community center is serving a free meal to senior citizens. The center plans to feed 700 people in 4 hours.

a. write and solve an equation to find the average number of people the center is planning to feed each hour.
b. during the first hour and a half, the center fed 270 people. Write and solve an equation to find the number of people that remain to be fed. Please answer

Answer 1

a: 700÷4=175 (700 people divided into 4 hours is 175 people per hour). b: 700-270=430 (700 people to be fed minus the 270 already fed is 430 people left to be fed). I hope this helps!
