Question

At a hot dog stand,they serve regular and footlong hot dogs at a ratio of 3 to 2. Based on this ratio,how many footlong hot dogs will be served if there are a total of 80 hot dogs served?

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

reg : foot = 3 : 2

So ...

foot : total = 2 : (3+2) = 2 : 5

Sales of footlong hot dogs are 2/5 of total sales, so ...

2/5 × 80 = 32 . . . footlong hot dogs will be served
