I have the same question on a test I'm taking thanks
Answer:
144 meals for customers and 12 meals for employees.
Step-by-step explanation:
156/24=6.5
6 x 24 =144
156-144=12
It adds up to be simple numbers, if it didn't it would make sense. For example, she wouldn't serve 6 and a <u>half</u> people. She would serve either 6 people or 7 people. She wouldn't serve 11.3973043 meals. She would serve either 11 meals or 12 meals.
A. The student added before multiplying.
If they had multiplied 6 and 4 first, the next step would have been too divide. But since they added first, they got 36/24 or 3/2 when the answer should be 13.
Solving
S = 3F - 24
for F gives
S + 24 = 3F
(S + 24)/3 = F
The best choice is the last one:
F = (S + 24)/3
