Hillary Hoffman · Answer 1

5 servers and 3 cooks (since a person doesn't exist in fraction)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question provided above, the manager (who is obviously organizing some kind of party or get-togethers) is expecting a hindered and fifty guests in total.

And it also says that if a server can handle 30 guests and 150, how many of them are need?

Let X be number of servers needed:

X = 150/30 = 5 servers

AND

If a single cook can prepare meals for 60 guests, the number of cooks required to cover for 150 guest will be:

X = 150/60 = 2.5, but since a fraction of a human doesn't exist, we have to say that the manager needs 3 cooks (2 of them will handle a total of 120 guests and the other cook handles the 30 guests)
