Question

It is estimated that each guest at a party will eat 9/10

pounds of chocolates. How many guest can be served with 27 pounds of chocolate?

Answer 1

30 guests

Explanation:

If each guest eats 9/10 lbs of chocolate, then they eat 0.9 lbs of chocolate. We have 27 lbs of chocolate to be eaten.

To solve this, simply:

`(27)/(.9) =30`

where 27 lbs is divided by 0.9lbs per guest to equal 30 quests.

I hope this helps!!! :)
