Answer 1

P=24x (x= people) (or 24x=P)

Answer 2

Answer:

The required equation is,

$p = \frac{1}{24}n$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Each pan serves 24 people,

$\implies 24\text{ people }=1\text{ pan}$

$\implies 1 \text{ person }= \frac{1}{24}\text{ pan}$

$\implies n \text{ people}=\frac{1}{24}n\text{ pan}$

Since, p represents the number of pan served to n people,

$\implies p = \frac{1}{24}n$

Which is the required equation.
