69 of the guests chose vegetarian
How many guest were at the wedding????????????

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: There are 276 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

raction of the guest that chose beef = 1/3

fraction of the guest that chose chicken = 5/12

fraction of the guest that chose vegetarian = 1  - 1/3 - 5/12 = 1/4

Find the number of guests:

guests that chose vegetarian = 1/4

guests that chose vegetarian = 69

1/4 of the guest = 69

4/4 of the guest = 69 x 4 = 276

Answer: There are 276 guests.

Answer 2

Answer:

number of guests in the wedding=1/3+5/12+69/1

LCM of 3,12,1=12.

=(1/3×4/4)+(5/12×1/1)+(69/1×12/12)

=4/12+5/12+828/12

=(4+5+828)/12

=837/12

=12(9/69)
