Question

Stans steakhouse has a server to cook ratio of 5:2. The total number of servers and cooks is 42. How many serves does Stans Steakhouse employ?

Answer 1

Hi Honest;

 

There is a ratio of 5 to 2 so that means 5 out of every 7

are servers and 2 out of every 7 are cooks..

 

5/7 are servers

2/7 are cooks

 

(5/7)(42) = 30 servers

(2/7)(42) = 12 cooks
