In Kitchen A, the cooks shown prepare the meals shown in 4 hours. How many cooks does Kitchen B need to prepare its meals in 3 hours, if all cooks work at the same rate?

Question

Accepted Answer

12 cooks. A: 5 cooks, 5 plates = 300 meals, 4 h, so 20 cook-hours for 300 meals. B: 9 plates = 540 meals need 20×540/300=36 cook-hours; in 3 h that is 36÷3=12 cooks.
