Answer 1

there will be 276 guests

Answer 2

Answer:

276 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

fraction 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.
