A camp cook estimates that 9 boxes of macaroni and cheese will feed 75 campers. At this rate, how many boxes should be purchased to feed 130 campers?

Sagot :

Well first lets find out how many campers one box will feed

we can find this by doing 75/9

75/9 is 8.3333 (.3333 keeps repeating)

Now that we know that and we know we need to feed 130 campers

we can do 8.3333 /130

This is 15.6

15.6 boxs, you cant buy 0.6 of a box so lets just round up to 16

we can check this math by doing

15.6 * 8.33333333 which we can see equals 130

since we rounded up lets do 16 * 8.33333333

This is 133.3333333 so a little more but again we had no choice since we cant buy 0.6 of a box

the answer is 16
