Question 482874: I think I am making more out of this than I should........
A community center is serving free meals. Will feed 700 people in 4 hours.
I need to write and solve an equation to find average number the center will feed per hour: I think: y=700 divided by 4 = 175.
During the first hour and a half the center fed 270 people. Write and solve an equation to find number of people that remain to be fed. I think ... Drawing a blank??? I know this should be easy
Thank you
