Barbeque Time!

What should we cook for the barbeque?

Samyu and Emma were in charge of preparing the barbeque for the school lunch one sunny day. They had to ask all the kids what food they wanted to eat.

They found that one fifth as many people wanted hot dogs as ribs.

One fourth as many people wanted ribs as hamburgers.

One half as many people wanted hamburgers as wanted grilled chicken.

Samyu and Emma ran to Chef Cunningham and placed an order for 80 pieces of grilled chicken.

How many kids wanted chicken, how many wanted ribs, how many wanted hot dogs, and how many wanted hamburgers that day?
