ok Here is my solution
Sales records at Burger Heaven show that an average of 5 out of 8 customers ask for catsup. If there are about 5,600 customers per week, about how many requests for catsup are expected each week?
I don't see a solution.
5/8 * 5,600 = ??

To find out the expected number of requests for catsup each week, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Determine the proportion of customers who ask for catsup.
In this case, the average of 5 out of 8 customers ask for catsup. So, the proportion of customers asking for catsup is 5/8.
Step 2: Calculate the expected number of customers asking for catsup.
Multiply the proportion of customers asking for catsup by the total number of customers per week.
Expected number of customers asking for catsup = (5/8) * 5,600
Step 3: Simplify the calculation.
To simplify, you can divide both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 5 and 8, which is 1.
Expected number of customers asking for catsup = (5/8) * 5,600 = (5 * 700) / 8 = 3500 / 8 = 437.5
Therefore, the expected number of requests for catsup each week is approximately 437.5.
