during the lunvh rush the catch of the day is ordered 24 times if the number of catch if the day orders represents 2/9 of the total lunch orders x which equation could be used to determine the number of lunch orders taken that day
2/9x = 24
To determine the number of lunch orders taken that day, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume the total number of lunch orders taken that day is represented by the variable x.
According to the information provided, the catch of the day is ordered 24 times, and this represents 2/9 of the total lunch orders.
So, we can set up the equation:
(2/9) * x = 24
To solve this equation for x, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/9, which is 9/2:
x = 24 * (9/2)
Simplifying this equation, we have:
x = 24 * 9 / 2
x = 216 / 2
x = 108
Therefore, the equation that could be used to determine the number of lunch orders taken that day is:
(2/9) * x = 24
