Final answer:
Michaela has 5 pounds (80 ounces) of shrimp for her party, and with each guest expected to consume 7 ounces, she will need 70 ounces in total. Since she has 80 ounces, Michaela will have enough shrimp for her 10 guests.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to determining if Michaela has enough shrimp for her party based on a projected unit rate of consumption. Given that she has 5 pounds of shrimp, which is equal to 80 ounces, we need to assess if that is sufficient for 10 people with an individual consumption of 7 ounces of shrimp each.
To ascertain this, we calculate the total shrimp required by multiplying the number of guests by the amount of shrimp each is expected to eat: 10 people × 7 ounces/person = 70 ounces of shrimp needed. Since Michaela has 80 ounces, which is more than the 70 ounces needed, she will have enough shrimp for everyone at the party.
