If each person gets 3/4 pounds of squash, how many people can evenly split a 9-pound basket of squash from the farmer's market?

Answer 1

Answer:

27

⇒  16÷8=2   [ Rule (ii) ]

⇒  2+(3)2=11    [ Rule (v) ]

∴  x=11

⇒  Now, 21+12=33  [ Rule (iv) ]

⇒  33×9=297  [ Rule ( i ) ]

∴  y=297

∴  y÷x=11297=27
