Final answer:
To determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for everyone, we need to convert the units of measure and calculate the number of shrimp needed for each person.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for everyone, we need to convert the units of measure. Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, 5 pounds of shrimp is equal to 5 x 16 = 80 ounces of shrimp. If each person will eat about 7 ounces of shrimp, we divide the total ounces by the amount each person will eat: 80 / 7 = 11.43. Therefore, Michaela would need to buy at least 12 blackened shrimps for each person to ensure there is enough shrimp for everyone.
