In part c, you determined that the proper ratio of packages of buns, packages of patties, and jars of pickles is 3: 2: 4. if you want to feed at least 540 people, but also maintain the proper ratio, what minimum number of packages of buns, packages of patties, and jars of pickles do you need, respectively?

 First let us determine how many we need for 540 people (assuming the ratio is per person) 

540 x (3:2:4) 

buns : patties : pickles 
1620 : 1080 : 2160 

Divide each one by the pakage size 

packets of buns : packets of patties : jars of pickles 
1620 / 8 : 1080 / 12 : 2160 / 18 

= 202.5 : 90 : 120

Round the non-whole number up since we cannot have a fractional bun: 

packets of buns : packets of patties : jars of pickles 
203 : 90 : 120

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
