Diana serves 8 kg of fried rice for 12 persons. How many persons can eat 20 kg of
fried rice?

30 persons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

persons/rice=persons/rice

We know that 12 persons can eat 8 kilograms of fried rice.

12 persons/ 8 kg of rice= persons/rice

We also know that x (unknown) persons can eat 20 kilograms of fried rice.

12 persons/ 8 kg of rice= x persons/ 20 kg of rice

12/8=x/20

x is being divided by 20. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 20.

20(12/8)=(x/20)20

20*12/8=x

20*1.5=x

30=x

30 persons can eat 20 kilograms of fried rice.

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
