Final answer:

Clancy can invite exactly 47 people to the party since he has 47 cups of yogurt and each person gets one serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked a question regarding how many people can be invited to a party if Clancy has 47 cups of yogurt and each guest will receive one serving. To solve this, we use a simple multiplication equation where the number of cups of yogurt represents the total servings available. As each guest gets one serving, the multiplication equation would be 1 x number of guests = 47. Since we are multiplying by 1, the number of guests Clancy can invite to the party is directly equal to the number of cups of yogurt, which is 47.
