A business is planning to provide sandwiches at their company picnic. Adults eat 1 3/4 times the amount that school-aged children eat, and babies eat half of what school-age children eat. 56 adults, 14 school-age children, and 28 babies are attending the picnic. If adults eat 5/8 of a sandwich, how many sandwiches should be ordered?


Sagot :

Answer: 46

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that you would divide 5/8 by 1 3/4 to get 5/14 for children. and 5/27 for babies  

5/8 *56=35. 5/14 * 14 = . 5/27 *28 = a little over five. Therefore, the answer is 46(to account for that one baby)
