Question

Chef Rita is cooking for a Sunday brunch. She knows that 22 pancakes can feed 8 people. She is wondering how many people left parenthesis right parenthesis she can feed with 55 pancakes. She assumes each person eats the same quantity of pancakes.

Answer 1

Chef Rita can feed 20 people.

Explanation:
If 22 pancakes can feed 8 people, then 11 pancakes can feed 4 people (divide both by 2). Since 55 is 11x5, you multiply 4 times 5 to get 20.

Hope this helps!
