Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

12 meals with rice.

Explanation:

The ratio of meals with rice to total school lunches is 2 : 5. We can set up a proportion to calculate the total meals with rice out of 30 lunches:

`(2)/(5) = (x)/(30)`

Cross multiply:

2 · 30 = 5 ·x

60 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5:

60/5 = 5x/5

x = 12 meals.

Therefore, if 30 school lunches were had, 12 would have rice.
