Answer:
The equation needed is
[tex]\frac{3}{4}p=423[/tex]
[tex]p=564\ friends[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is
Clancy has 423 cups of yogurt to share with his friends at a party. Each guest will receive 1 serving of yogurt which is 3/4 of a cup. Write a multiplication equation to determine the number of people, p, who can be invited to the party
we know that
Each guest will receive 3/4 of a cup of yogurt
so
using proportion
Find out the number of people, who can be invited to the party, if Clancy has 423 cups of yogurt to share with his friends
Let
p -----> the number of people
[tex]\frac{1}{(3/4)} =\frac{p}{423}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{4}p=423[/tex] -----> equation needed
[tex]p=\frac{423}{(3/4)}[/tex]
[tex]p=\frac{423*4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]p=\frac{1,692}{3}[/tex]
[tex]p=564\ friends[/tex]
