Answer:

15 people

Step-by-step explanation:

since Raul and his friends each weigh 1/20 ton,

and the total weight reads 3/4 ton

The total number pf people on the scale will be:

The total weight of Raul and his friends divided by their individual weight

==> (3/4 ton) ÷ (1/20 ton)

= 3/4 X 20/1 = 15 people
