Question

In a fast-food restaurant, the ratio of people eating hamburgers to people eating chicken is 4 : 3. There are 84 people in the restaurant. How many people are eating hamburgers and how many are eating chicken? A. 36 people are eating hamburgers; 48 people are eating chicken. B. 12 people are eating hamburgers; 72 people are eating chicken. C. 48 people are eating hamburgers; 36 people are eating chicken. D. 21 people are eating hamburgers; 63 people are eating chicken.

Answer 1

A

48:36 = 4:3 once both are divided by 12

48 + 36 = 84, everyone accounted for

Answer 2

Answer would be A since 4 X 12 = 48 and 2 X 12 = 36 added together would equal to 84.
