Question

Timothy runs a catering service for large parties he needs 37 heads of lettuce for salad to feed 100 guest what ratio illustrates how many heads of lettuce X he would need to feed 275 guest

Answer 1

Answer:

275/100 is 2.75 so to make it easy you just need to take 37 and multiply it by 2.75. This makes sense because 275 is just 2.75 times more than 100 so the same method would work on the 37.  

if you don't like that method you could do 37 divided by 100 which would get you 0.37 and you multiply that by 275.

either way you would get 101.75 heads of lettuce which you would round to 102.

*So edit did not read the question clearly at first*

37/100=x/275
