Answer:
C. 1/4 lb of chicken per person
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the rate of change for the situation.
A chef cooks 9 lbs of chicken for 36 people and 17 lbs of chicken for 68 people.
A. 9/17lb per person
B. 4 lb per person
C. 1/4 lb per person
D. 36 people
Solution
9 lbs of chicken for 36 people
Chicken per person = Total lbs of chicken / Total number of people
= 9 lbs / 36 people
Chicken per person = 1/4 lb of chicken per person
17 lbs of chicken for 68 people
Chicken per person = Total lbs of chicken / Total number of people
= 17 lbs / 68 people
= 1/4 lb of chicken
Chicken per person = 1/4 lb of chicken per person
Therefore, the rate of change of the situation = 1/4 lb of chicken per person
