In planning for a dinner party, a planner orders 400 napkins for 8 guests. How many napkins should be ordered for 15 guests
To find out how many napkins should be ordered for 15 guests, we can use proportions.
We can set up a proportion with the number of napkins and the number of guests:
400 napkins / 8 guests = x napkins / 15 guests
Now we can cross-multiply to solve for x:
8 * x = 400 * 15
8x = 6000
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x = 6000 / 8
x = 750
Therefore, the planner should order 750 napkins for 15 guests.
To determine the number of napkins that should be ordered for 15 guests, we can set up a proportion:
Number of napkins / Number of guests = Number of napkins / Number of guests
Thus, we have:
400 napkins / 8 guests = X / 15 guests
To solve for X, we can cross multiply:
8 * X = 400 * 15
8X = 6000
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate X:
X = 6000 / 8
X = 750
Therefore, 750 napkins should be ordered for 15 guests.
To calculate the number of napkins that should be ordered for 15 guests, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of napkins to guests.
Let's call the number of napkins needed for 15 guests "x". We can set up the proportion as follows:
400 napkins / 8 guests = x napkins / 15 guests
To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply and then divide:
8x = 400 * 15
8x = 6000
x = 6000 / 8
x = 750
Therefore, 750 napkins should be ordered for 15 guests.
