Question

A restaurant sells cheeseburgers to chicken sandwiches in a ratio of 7:2. If the restaurant sells 12 chicken sandwiches one day, how many cheeseburgers does it sell

Answer 1

Answer:

Food problems are fun  :D

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{cheeseburgers}{chicken}$

chicken =12  sooo..

$\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{x}{12}$

and solve for x.... that is... get x by itself... "isolate x"

12 * $\frac{7}{2}$ = x

6 * 7 = x

42 = x

the restaurant sold 42 cheeseburgers  :P
