Timothy runs catering service for large parties. he need 37 heads of lettuce for salad to feed 100 guests. which of the following ratios illustrates how many heads of lettuce, x, he would need to feed 275 guests?

Question

37/100 = x/275

x/100 = 37/275

100/275 = x/37

100/37 = x/275

Answer 1

To find the ratio illustrating how many heads of lettuce, \( x \), Timothy would need to feed 275 guests, we can start from the ratio given for 100 guests.

The relationship between the number of heads of lettuce and the number of guests can be expressed as:

\[ \frac{37}{100} = \frac{x}{275} \]

This means for every 37 heads of lettuce, there are 100 guests, and we want to find \( x \) heads of lettuce for 275 guests.

Thus, the correct ratio is:

\[ \frac{37}{100} = \frac{x}{275} \]

So, the answer is:

37/100 = x/275
