Eli has two 8 1/2 pounds of bags of mints. She plans to put 1/2 at each place setting. Will she have enough mints?
I assume she's putting 1/2 pound at each place.
How many place setting does she have?
don't know how many place setting, and how did you get your answer?
don't know how many setting, and how did you get 52.
To determine if Eli has enough mints, we can do the following calculation:
Step 1: Find the total amount of mints Eli has by adding the two bags together.
8 1/2 pounds + 8 1/2 pounds = 17 pounds
Step 2: Find out how many mints can be put at each place setting by dividing the total amount of mints by 1/2 pound.
17 pounds / (1/2 pound) = 34
Since Eli has 34 portions of mints and there are 1/2 pound per place setting, she will have enough mints for each place setting.
