Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplication
Ratio of Tables to garbage = 8:3
Small camp ground:
40 picnic tables and let x be the number of garbage cans
[tex]\frac{8}{3}=\frac{40}{x}\\\\\frac{8*5}{3*5}=\frac{40}{x}\\\\\frac{40}{15}=\frac{40}{x}\\\\[/tex]
x = 15
Small campground with 40 picnic table needs 15 garbage cans
Large picnic ground:
120 picnic tables and let y be the number of garbage cans
[tex]\frac{8}{3}=\frac{120}{y}\\\\\frac{8*15}{3*15}=\frac{120}{y}\\\\\frac{120}{45}=\frac{120}{y}[/tex]
y= 45
Big campground with 120 picnic table needs 45 garbage cans
