Answer:

6 + 12/13, or 90/13 people will be served

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios stay the same, no matter the quantity.

Given this, we can say that (13 grapes / 3 people) = (30 grapes / x amount of people)

13/3 = 30 / x

multiply both sides by 3 to remove a denominator

13 = 30 * 3 /x

multiply both sides by x to remove the other denonimator

13 * x = 30 * 3

13 * x = 90

divide both sides by 13 to isolate the x

x = 90/13 = 6 + 12/13 ≈6.92 people
