Question

There are 6 muffins in a package. How many packages will be needed to feed 48 people if each person has 2 muffins?

Answer 1

Therefore, Number of packages needed to feed 48 people = 16

Explanation:

Given that : Each person has 2 muffins

⇒ Number of muffins 1 person has = 2

⇒ Number of muffins 48 people has = 2 × 48

⇒ Number of muffins 48 people has = 96

Also, Number of muffins available in one packet = 6

⇒ 6 muffins are contained in 1 packet

`\implies\text{1 muffin is contained in }(1)/(6)\text{ packet}\\\\\text{We need to find number of packets needed for 96 muffins}\\\\\implies \text{96 muffins are contained in = }(1)/(6)* 96=16`

Therefore, Number of packages needed to feed 48 people = 16

Answer 2

48 people will need:
48 * 2 = 96 muffins
And there are 6 muffins in a package.
96 : 6 = 16
Answer:
16 packages will be needed.
