Question 1069878: Sabrina's great-grandfather was 100! They were celebrating with a big family cookout and Sabrina was taking orders. She found one fifth as many people wanted chicken as wanted ribs, one fourth as many people wanted ribs as wanted hot dogs, and one half as many people wanted hot dogs as wanted hamburgers. Sabrina gave her brother, the chef, an order for 80 hamburgers. How many people asked for chicken, many people asked for ribs, and how many asked for how hot dogs?

hot dogs = 1/2 * hamburgers = 1/2 * 80 = 40.
ribs = 1/4 * hot dogs = 1/4 * 40 = 10.
chicken = 1/5 * ribs = 1/5 * 10 = 2.

she ordered:

80 hamburgers.
40 hot dogs.
10 ribs.
2 chicken.

that's what i think.
