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.
