Question

A #10 can yields 120 oz. of pineapple. they plan to give each guest an 8-oz. portion. they estimate there will be 240 guests. how many #10 cans will be needed?

Answer 1

If you divide the total ounces of pineapple with the ounces per portion: 120/8 it equals 15 guests. This means out of 120 ounces 15 guests can be served.Divide the number of total guests by 15: 240/15=16. That means you will need 16 cans to serve 240 guests. Hope this helps!
