Question

At the neighborhood party mrs conner plans to serve banana pudding. She plans to make 2 batches for every 9 people attending. If 72 people attend the party how many batches does mrs conner need to make?

Answer 1

Mrs. Conner need to prepare 16 batches of banana pudding at party.

Explanation:

Given:

Mrs Conner plans to serve banana pudding and she plans to make 2 batches for every 9 people attending.

So it means that p people would get 2 batches of banana pudding.

9 people would get = 2 batches

Number of people who are attending the party is 79

We need to find the number of batches Mrs Conner needs to prepare.

If,

9 people would get = 2 batches

72 people would get = Number of batches need to prepare.

So we will use cross multiplication method to find the same.

Cross multiplying means We need to multiply 2 and 72 and 9 and Number of batches we need to prepare.

Hence we get

Number of batches need to prepare =
`(2* 72)/(9) =(144)/(9)=16`

Hence Mrs. Conner need to prepare 16 batches of banana pudding at party.
