Answer:
1. 3 tacos per person
2. 8 chairs per table
3. 6 avocados per bag
Explanation:
1) Divide 45 by 15 to get the unit rate: # of taco per person.
45 = 15x
45/15 = 15x/15
3 = x
3 tacos per person
2) Divide 72 by 9 to get the unit rate: # of chairs per table.
72 = 9x
72/9 = 9x/9
8 = x
8 chairs per table
3) Divide 42 by 7 to get the unit rate: # of avocados per bag.
42 = 7x
42/7 = 7x/7
6 = x
6 avocados per bag
