Answer:
He should prepare 320 cups of soup.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A chef planning for a large banquet think that 2 out of every 5 dinner guest will order his soup appetizer . He expects 800 guests at the banquet.
Now, to find the cups of soup he should prepare.
Let the number of cups he should prepare be [tex]x.[/tex]
Total number of guests expected at the banquet hall = 800.
As, 2 out of every 5 dinner guest will order his soup appetizer.
So, 2 is equivalent to 5.
Thus, [tex]x[/tex] is equivalent to 800.
Now, to get the number of cups by using cross multiplication method:
[tex]\frac{2}{5} =\frac{x}{800}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get:
[tex]1600=5x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 5 we get:
[tex]320=x\\\\x=320\ cups.[/tex]
Therefore, he should prepare 320 cups of soup.
Answer:
The chef should prepare 320 cups of soup.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Expected number of guests in the banquet = [tex]800[/tex]
Ratio of guests,to order appetizer (i.e soup) = [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
We have to use equivalent ratio,to estimate number of cups of soup the chef should prepare.
Equivalent ratio express same relationship between numbers.
Let the number of cups be 'x' .
Expected ratios of cups will be equal to the ratio of cups ordered and total number of guests.
So,
⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{800}[/tex]
⇒ Cross multiplying the terms.
⇒ [tex]5x=1600[/tex]
⇒ Dividing with 5 on both sides.
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{1600}{5}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=320[/tex] cups.
The chef should prepare 320 cups of soup for the banquet.
