<span>Most of the information’s that are required are already given in the question.</span>
The number of cans used to serve 5 people = 3
Then
The number of cans required to serve 1 people = (3/5) * 1
                                                                             = (3/5) cans
So
The number of cans required to serve 20 people = (3/5) * 20 cans
                                                                               = 3 * 4 cans
                                                                               = 12 cans
So 12 cans will be required to serve 20 people. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

If you would like to know how many cans of soup you will need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 cans of soup ... 5 people
x cans of soup = ? ... 20 people

3 * 20 = 5 * x    /5
x = 3 * 20 / 5
x = 12 cans of soup

The correct result would be 12 cans of soup.

3x-6y=18 intercept form
Veronika [31]
3x-6y=18

We need to get y by itself so first, subtract 3x from both sides

-6y= -3x+18

Now divide both sides by -6

y= 1/2x-3

A diesel train traveled to the repair yards and
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

B.  16 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate × time

The best way to do this is to make a table with the info.  We are concerned with the trip There and the Return trip.  Set it up accordingly:

                    d     =     r     ×     t

There    

Return

The train made a trip from A to B and then back to A again, so the distances are both the same.  We don't know what the distance is, but it doesn't matter.  Just go with it for now.  It'll be important later.

               d     =     r     ×     t

There      d    

Return     d

We are also told the rates.  There is 70 km/hr and return is 80 km/hr

               d     =     r     ×     t

There      d     =    70

Return     d     =    80

All that's left is the time column now.  We don't know how long it took to get there or back, but if it took 2 hours longer to get There than on the Return, the Return trip took t and the There trip took t + 2:

                      d     =     r     ×     t

There             d     =    70   ×    t+2

Return            d     =    80   ×     t

The distances, remember, are the same for both trips, so that means that by the transitive property of equality, their equations can be set equal to each other:

70(t + 2) = 80t

70t + 140 = 80t

140 = 10t

14 = t

That t represents the Return trip's time.  Add 2 hours to it since the There trip's time is t+2.  So 14 + 2 = 16.  

B.  16 hours
