Answer 1

P=24x (x= people) (or 24x=P)

Answer 2

The required equation is,

`p = (1)/(24)n`

Explanation:

According to the question,

Each pan serves 24 people,

`\implies 24\text{ people }=1\text{ pan}`

`\implies 1 \text{ person }= (1)/(24)\text{ pan}`

`\implies n \text{ people}=(1)/(24)n\text{ pan}`

Since, p represents the number of pan served to n people,

`\implies p = (1)/(24)n`

Which is the required equation.
