Answer:
Sam should order 480.9 ≈ 481 pounds so that there is enough food for the 7-day camp this summer
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
The 7-day camp will be attended by 30 children.
In a previous cam, 275 pounds of food were served to 24 children over 5 days
To Find: How many pounds of food should Sam order so that there is enough food for the 7-day camp this summer?
Solution :
24 children served food for 5 days = 275 pounds
24 children served for 1 day =
1 children served for 1 day =
= 2.29 pounds
So, 30 children served for 1 day = 2.29*30 = 68.7 pounds
So, 30 children served for 7 days = 68.7*7 = 480.9 pounds
Hence, Sam should order 480.9 ≈ 481 pounds so that there is enough food for the 7-day camp this summer
