Final answer:
After converting 5 pounds of shrimp to ounces (80 ounces), and determining the total needed for 10 people at 7 ounces each (70 ounces), it becomes clear that Michaela has enough shrimp.
Step-by-step explanation:
When planning a party, Michaela bought 5 pounds of shrimp and needs to know if this will be enough for 10 people if they each consume about 7 ounces of shrimp. To determine if she has enough, we need to convert pounds to ounces. Since 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces, we multiply 5 pounds by 16 to convert it to ounces, which gives us 80 ounces:
5 pounds × 16 ounces/pound = 80 ounces
Next, we calculate the total amount of shrimp needed for 10 people at 7 ounces per person:
10 people × 7 ounces/person = 70 ounces
Comparing the amount of shrimp Michaela has (80 ounces) to the amount she needs (70 ounces), we can see that Michaela will have enough shrimp for the party as she will have 10 ounces of shrimp left over.
