Answer:
1.339 Canisters
Explanation:
Because you are making 5 meatloafs for a party, and according to the recipe you need 1 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs per each meatloaf. In each canister there is 14/3 cups of breadcrumbs which you can see by multiplying the serving size by the servings per container.
Since you need five meatloafs, you can figure out how many cups of breadcrumbs you need by multiplying 1 1/4 cups by 5. This gives you 6 1/4 or 6.25 cups.
In each canister of breadcrumbs, there are 14/3 cups or 4.667 cups of breadcrumbs.
To figure out how many canisters you need, you divide the amount of breadcrumbs you need (6.25 cups) by the amount of breadcrumbs you have (4.667) which gives you 1.339 canisters.
