Answer 1

To determine if Michaela will have enough shrimp for everyone, multiply the number of people by the amount of shrimp each person will eat. Then convert the pounds of shrimp to ounces and compare to the total amount needed. Michaela will have enough shrimp for everyone at the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if Michaela will have enough shrimp for everyone at the party, we need to first find the total amount of shrimp needed. To do this, we multiply the number of people by the amount of shrimp each person will eat:

10 people × 7 ounces/person = 70 ounces

Next, we need to convert the 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, we can multiply the pounds by 16 to get the number of ounces:

5 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 80 ounces

Since 80 ounces is greater than 70 ounces, Michaela will have enough shrimp for everyone at the party.
