Sally wants to buy some chips for her party. The bags of chips at Kroger are sold in 10.5 cup bags. Sally thinks that each guest will eat about 3/4 cup of chips. If she bought two bags of chips how many guests can she feed?
I got an answer of two guest, but I think that is wrong. So, I really don't know.
3/4 cup = 0.75 cups
Divide the decimals.
I did and I got 2.
Let's change 3/4 cup to a decimal, 0.75. Multiply 10.5 * 2.
Divide: 21 / 0.75 = ?
What do you get?
Oh. I get it now! Thank you!
You're welcome. :-)
WILL YOU HELP ME
yes i will
what is 3(4x+6)+7*
To determine how many guests Sally can feed with two bags of chips, we need to find out how many cups of chips are in two bags and then divide that by the amount each guest is expected to eat.
First, we need to find out how many cups of chips are in two bags. Each bag contains 10.5 cups of chips, so two bags would contain a total of 10.5 + 10.5 = 21 cups of chips.
Next, we need to determine how many guests Sally can feed with these 21 cups of chips. Each guest is expected to eat 3/4 cup of chips. So, we divide the total cups of chips (21) by the amount each guest is expected to eat (3/4), which can be simplified as:
21 / (3/4) = 21 * (4/3)
= (21 * 4) / 3
= 84 / 3
= 28
Therefore, Sally can feed 28 guests with the two bags of chips she purchased.
