Let's say a total T guests came to the wedding.
We know that 1/3 of them chose beef. How can you mathematically express 1/3 of the total in terms of T? We know that 5/12 of them chose chicken. How can you mathematically express 5/12 of the total in terms of T? We know that 23 of them chose vegetarian. We are not saying that some fraction of the total chose vegetarian, since we are giving the exact number, so you don't need to try and express this in terms of T -- keep it as it is.
Then add up the three things you just answered, and you should end up with the total amount of people that came, ie T.
This should yield a linear equation in T which you can solve.

You can calculate the proportion of guests that 23 represents. Divide 23 by that to get the total number of guests.

(MathsWatch VLE Answer)276 guests.Step-by-step explanation:fraction of the guest that chose beef = 1/3fraction of the guest that chose chicken = 5/12fraction of the guest that chose vegetarian = 1 - 1/3 - 5/12 = 1/4Find the number of guests:guests that chose vegetarian = 1/4guests that chose vegetarian = 691/4 of the guest = 694/4 of the guest = 69 x 4 = 276Answer: There are 276 guests.
