Solve this ratio:
5 40
--- = -----
8 x
Then 5x = 320, and x = 64. So, on a day on which there are 40 lunch customers, there are 64 dinner customers (answer).
One way is to find the prime factorization for the denominators which are 3 and 4. The prime factorization of 3 would be 1 x 3 and 4 would be 2 x 2. Since we only use prime numbers to find the prime factorization we would have 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 which give us the the least common denominator for 2/3 and 3/4. Final answer is 12.
