Question

Breakfast Bar’s scrambled egg recipe uses 8 eggs to feed 5 people. How many eggs are they going to need to serve 100 people on Saturday morning?

Explain the steps you would use to solve the problem

Answer 1

160 eggs

Explanation:

First find how many sets of 5 (people) we need to get to a 100

-We know 100 divided by 5 is 20

So we need 20 sets of 5 (people)

Now, 20 times 8 is 160 OR we could say

for 20 groups of 5 people, we need 160 eggs

Answer 2

160

Explanation:

If 5 people = 8 eggs

1 person = 8÷5 = 1.6 eggs

100×1.6= 160 eggs
