Ethan had 7 of his friends over. He ordered cheese pizzas and mozzarella sticks for the 8 of them. In all, there were 64 pieces of food. If each person had 5 slices of pizza, find the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate.(1 point)
Each person ate
mozzarella sticks.
If each person had 5 slices of pizza, then the 8 of them consumed 5*8 = <<5*8=40>>40 slices of pizza.
The total number of pizzas they ate is 64-40 = <<64-40=24>>24 mozzarella sticks
Each person ate 24/8 = <<24/8=3>>3 mozzarella sticks. Answer: \boxed{3}.
