Ratios, Rates, and Proportions

(1.) A party planner contains a variety of dried fruits. To serve 16 people, 96 pieces of fruit are needed. How many pieces of dried fruit are needed to serve 22 people?

96 fruits divided by the number of people, 16, tells you how many fruits are needed per person.

so 96/16 = 6 fruits per person.

so for 22 people, you give each person 6 fruits, so, 22x6 = 132 fruits would be needed.

16/96=22/x
