Answer 1

45 foot long hot dogs will be served if there are a total of 120 dogs served.

Solution:

Given that  

Ratio of irregular hot dogs and foot long hot dogs is 5 : 3  

Which means when 5 irregular hot dogs are serve, 3 foot long hot dogs are served.

Total number of dogs served = 120

To find : Number of foot long dogs served

$\text { Number of foot long dogs served }=\frac{3}{5+3} \times \text { total number of dogs }$

$\text { Number of foot long dogs served }=\frac{3}{5+3} \times 120=\frac{3}{8} \times 120=45$

Hence 45 foot long hot dogs will be served if there are a total of 120 dogs served.
