If the campers at Camp Grilled Meat prefer hot dogs to hamburgers by a ratio of 4:3, and they need 500 hot dogs, how many hamburgers will they need?

They will need 375 hamburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keeping the ratio in mind, we solve this problem by cross multiplying. Set up the ratio 4/3 and set it equal to the greater ratio of 500/(an unknown number of hamburgers, represented by x). Cross multiply to end up with the equation 4x=1500. (Cross multiplying is multiplying each numerator by the opposite denominator). Solve for x in the above equation using SADMEG. You divide 1500 by 4 and end up with 375 hamburgers.
