Question

A commercial airline makes a flight each day from New York to Paris, France. The aircraft seats 524 passengers and serves 2 meals to each passenger per flight. if all seats are filled each flight, how many meals are served in one week?

Answer 1

Start by multiplying the amount of passengers by 2 (for amount of meals)

524×2= 1,048

That will equal to 1,048, which is the amount of meals given out for a full plane in one day.

Now multiply that by 7 (for one week) and you'll get your answer!

524×2= 1, 028 × 7 = 7, 336 meals

7, 336 meals are given out in a one week time span on a fully packed plane.
