Mike is an event planner in charge of preparing food for large groups of people. He usually finds that he needs 6 potatoes for every 10 people. (6:10). He usually finds that he needs 5 heads of broccoli for every 12 people (5:12). He usually needs about 8 for every 50 people (8:50). In those proportions stay the same, how many of each will he need if his next event will have 225 people? show your work.

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2

i think this is a open ended question but i agree with other guy who said you should ask it at english section
