Question

PLEASE HELP Jax is surveying the number of children in restaurants. One restaurant has 7 children and a total of 42 customers. The next restaurant has 60 customers. Based on his survey, how many can he predict will be children?

A. 25
B. 10
C. 360
D. 5​

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

If the first restaurant had 7 children within 42 customers, then we can divide 42 by 7 to get 6, which means 1 in 6 customers are children. If we apply this to the next restaurant, we will divide 60 by 6 to get 10.

This means there are 10 children in the second restaurant, so the answer is B.

Answer 2

B.10

Explanation:

42÷7=1. 1 child for every 6 customer. 60÷6= 10
