Sagot :

The auditorium can seat up to 600 people at a time.

The sponsors of the award dinner will use it for 450 people.

- The chef prepared meals for 3/4 of the usual 600 people, to determine how many meals he prepared, you have to multiply 600 by 3/4

[tex]600\cdot\frac{3}{4}=\frac{600\cdot3}{4}=\frac{1800}{4}=450[/tex]

The result indicates that the chef prepared 450 meals, which is enough for the people attending the dinner.

- The pastry chef made desserts for 5/8 of the usual 600 people. To determine how many desserts you have to multiply 600 by 5/8

[tex]600\cdot\frac{5}{8}=\frac{600\cdot5}{8}=\frac{3000}{8}=375[/tex]

The pastry chef made 375 desserts, this indicates that there will be not enough desserts for the dinner.

- The staff set up 3/5 of the usual 600 chairs. To determine how many chairs they've set up, you have to multiply 600 by 3/5

[tex]600\cdot\frac{3}{5}=\frac{600\cdot3}{5}=\frac{1800}{5}=360[/tex]

The staff has set up 360 chairs, which means that there will be not enough chairs for everyone to sit.
