In her catering business, Elena usually estimates that 5 pounds of meat will feed about 26 people. How many pounds of meat should she prepare if she is expecting 156 people?

Answer :

30 pounds of beef, because 156/26= 6 and 5x6=30

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

26 = 5

156 = x

cross multiply

26x=156*5

26x= 780

divide both sides by 26

x= 780/26

x = 30
