    10 chefs can prepare a meal for 536 people in 8 hours. Assuming that the chefs cook at the same rate and that the rate at which they cook remains constant throughout the preparation. Find the number of people 22 chefs can prepare a meal for in 5 hours.

    What is it that they are cooking? The rate can be constant, and the chefs can cook at the same rate. But food does not all cook at the same rate. 10 chefs can cook a brisket, all at the same rate. But a brisket takes longer to cook than macaroni and cheese.

    The questioner didn't mention it, cuz he might not have considered it important.
