Question

stans steakhouse has a sever to chef ratio of 5 to 2 the total number of severs and chefs is 42.How many severs does stans steakhouse employ.

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

We need to figure out what 5 and 2 really mean in this scenario. So we add them together. 5+2=7

We then divide 42 by 7. 42/7=6

Afterward we multiple 5 by 6 to get the real number or servers. 5x6=30

And as a bonus (and also to check our work) we multiple 2 by 6. 2x6=12

5/2=30/12
