Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
let a, b, c represent the number of students in 6th, 7th, 8th grade
ratio of students : teachers = 28 : 1
There are 82 teachers , so 28 × 82 = 2296 students
Then
a + b + c = 2296 , that is
828 + b + c = 2296 ( subtract 828 from both sides )
b + c = 1468 → E
To find the average number of customers for dinner, use the simple ratio of 5 lunch customers for every 8 dinner customers.
Because there are 40 lunch customers, this is eight groups of five lunch customers. This means you will need 8 groups of 8 dinner customers to make it equivalent.
8 x 8 = 64
There is an average of 64 customers for dinner.
