\n" ); document.write( "One assistant takes 20 hours to prepare meal for 25 People
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the amount of meals in 6 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2825%2F20hr%29+=+%285%2F4%29+=+%28x%2F6hr%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply to solve
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 5*6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7.5 ( An Assistant can prepare 7.5 meals in 6 hrs)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Note: Chef can prepare 30 meals in 6 hrs. \"%2825%2F5%29+=+%2830%2F6%29\"
