Areceli is a chef for a catering company. The guests at a banquet had a choice of entrées: chicken or lasagna. Areceli prepared three times as many chicken dinners as lasagna dinners, and there were 96 guests. How many chicken dinners were served?

93x6=anser

Step-by-step explanation:

72 Chicken Dinners and 24 Lasagna Dinners

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that chicken dinners are 3 times as much as lasagna, you know that you must divide 96 by 4. Why? Well we aren't just looking at the chicken dinners itself. IF we were, then we would divide 96 by 3. But in this situation, you have to divide by both the lasagna and the chicken. Adding the parts together, you get 1 and 3, or 4. So, dividing 96 by 4 you get 24. You now know that the amount of lasagna dinners is 24. Chicken dinners are 3 times as much meaning 24 x 3 = 72 chicken dinners.

Algebraic expression ish (x = lasagna dinners):

96 = 3x + x

96 = 4x   (divide both sides by 4 now)

24 = x

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
