Answer 1

113

Explanation:

Total mass of waffles = 45 x 5 = 225 pounds

No. of people needed = 225 / 2 + 1 = 112 + 1 = 113

You need to add 1 because 112 people can only eat 224 pounds, so the last person eats only 1 pound

Answer 2

113 people are necessary to eat all of the waffles.

Explanation:

There are 5 stacks of huge waffles that each weigh 45 pounds.

Hence, Total amount of waffles=5×45 pounds

=225 pounds

A person can eat 2 pounds.

and 225/2=112.5

112 people can only eat 224 pounds, so the last person eats only 1 pound.

⇒ 113 people are necessary to eat all of the waffles.
