Final answer:
To determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for the party, we need to convert the 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces and divide by the number of ounces each person will eat. The answer is that Michaela will not have enough shrimp for everyone.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if Michaela has enough shrimp for the party, we need to convert the 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces. Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, we can calculate that 5 pounds is equal to 80 ounces. So, Michaela has 80 ounces of shrimp.
If each person eats 7 ounces of shrimp, we can divide 80 ounces by 7 ounces to see how many people Michaela can serve. 80 divided by 7 is approximately 11.43, which means Michaela has enough shrimp for about 11 people.
Therefore, the answer to the question is that Michaela will not have enough shrimp for everyone.
