Question

It is worked out that if 3 ladles full of soup are given to each person, 160 people can be fed. The costumers complained in the past that the proportions are too small. The cool decides to give 5 ladles full of soup to each person. How many people can now be fed

Answer 1

96 people

Explanation:

Here, we have 3 ladles feeding 160 people, we now want to calculate the number of people 5 ladles will feed.

First, we need to calculate the total number of ladles that fed the 160

people

That would be 3 * 160 = 480 ladles

Now we increased their number of ladles to 5, the number of people we would be feeding is 480/5 = 96 people
