Final answer:
To convert 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces, use the conversion factor 1 pound = 16 ounces. Multiply the number of ounces each person will eat by the number of people to find the total amount of shrimp needed. If the total amount of shrimp is greater than or equal to the available amount, there will be enough for everyone.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces, we can use the conversion factor 1 pound = 16 ounces. So, 5 pounds of shrimp is equal to 5 * 16 = 80 ounces of shrimp. Since each person will eat 7 ounces of shrimp, we can find the total amount of shrimp needed by multiplying 7 ounces by the number of people, which is 10. Therefore, Michaela will need at least 7 * 10 = 70 ounces of shrimp for the party. Since she has 80 ounces of shrimp, she will have enough for everyone.
