Answer 1

To accommodate 45 drop-in guests when each guest is counted as half a guest, Amanda & Sydney should order 26 pieces of chicken, 3 2/3 pounds of deli meats, and 11 3/4 pounds of lasagna. Correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much of each food item Amanda & Sydney should order for 45 drop-in guests, we need to multiply the number of guests by the amount of food each guest is counted as

1. Chicken: 45 guests x 0.5 = 22.5 pieces
2. Deli Meats: 45 guests x 0.5 = 22.5 pounds
3. Lasagna: 45 guests x 0.5 = 22.5 pounds

Therefore, Amanda & Sydney should order:

1. Chicken: 26 pieces
2. Deli Meats: 3 2/3 pounds
3. Lasagna: 11 3/4 pounds
