Answer: If 3/4 of the guests will eat dessert, then we can find the number of people who will eat dessert by multiplying the total number of guests by 3/4:

(3/4) * 38 = 28.5

Since we can't have half a person, we can round this to the nearest whole number to get an estimate of how many people will eat dessert:

about 29 people will eat dessert.
