Question

4 chicken sliders 6 chicken tenders 8 biscuits 1 pint of cole slaw The restaurant wants to create a larger meal to accommodate larger groups of people. They also want to limit the number of chicken tenders to 15. If the ratio remains the same, how many biscuits are in the larger meal?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 20 biscuits in larger meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Previous quantity of chicken = 6

In larger meal it becomes 15.

Previous quantity of biscuit = 8

Let $x$ = quantity of biscuit in larger meal.

If the ratio remains the same, then the direct equation to the relation between x and y is given by :

$\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}$

Now,

$\dfrac{x}{8}=\dfrac{15}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{6}\times8=20$

Hence, there are 20 biscuits in larger meal.
