b) 9
c) 55
d) 880

Answer 1

To calculate the number of cans of beets required, find the total amount of beets needed and divide it by the size of each beet can. In this case, the portion of beets served per guest is given as 6 oz and there are 220 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of cans of beets required, we need to find the total amount of beets needed and then divide it by the size of each beet can. The portions of beets served per guest is given as 6 oz, and there are 220 guests. So, the total amount of beets needed is 6 oz x 220 guests = 1320 oz. The size of each beet can is given as 24 oz. Dividing the total amount of beets needed by the size of each beet can: 1320 oz ÷ 24 oz = 55 cans.

Therefore, the answer is c) 55 cans.
