Problema Solution
The school cafeteria manager needs to know how many food trays are needed during a week. 632 students eat lunch each school day, and half of all these students each breakfast. How many trays will be needed in one week?
Answer provided by our tutors
First lets determine the total number of meals served per day:
#lunch=632 meals
#breakfast=632/2=316 meals
#per day=632+316= 948 meals
Now we can determine the number of meals served per week (for a 5 day school week)
#per week=948(5)=4740 meals
Assuming one tray is needed per meal and no trays are re-used throughout the week, the school will need 4740 trays.
