Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the bottom line of the chart.

He sold 41 sides of French fries and 40 sides of onion rings.

41 + 40 = 81

Since he sold a total of 81 sides with bacon cheeseburgers, that means he sold a total of 81 bacon cheeseburgers.

We have a ratio:

81 bacon cheeseburgers to 40 sides of onion rings

Now he sold 120 bacon cheeseburgers, so we set up a proportion to find the number of sides of onion rings. Let the unknown number be x.

81 burgers is to 40 sides as 120 burgers is to x sides

81/40 = 120/x

We solve for x by cross multiplying.

81x = 40 * 120

81x = 4800

x = 4800/81 = 59.3

That means he serves 59 sides of onion rings.

Each serving of onion rings is half pound.

59 * 0.5 = 29.5

For 120 bacon cheeseburgers, he serves approximately 29.5 lb of onion rings.
