Final answer:
A cheese board with 28 slices of bread and 11 slices of cheese can feed 11 people if each person eats one sandwich made with 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of cheese. There will be 6 slices of bread left over. For a dinner party with 10 guests, 20 brownies allow for two brownies per person.The correct option is c) 5-6 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
How Many People Can the Cheese Board Feed?
The question on how many people a cheese board can feed depends on the number of sandwiches that can be made and the assumption of how many sandwiches each person will eat. Given that you have 28 slices of bread and 11 slices of cheese, you can prepare 11 sandwiches since each sandwich requires 2 slices of bread and 1 slice of cheese. Consequently, 6 slices of bread will be left over since they are not enough to make additional sandwiches that require cheese.
If we assume that each person will eat one sandwich, then the cheese board can feed 11 people. If some guests prefer more than one sandwich or in case of larger appetites, the number it can feed would be less. However, without additional context on portion sizes or appetite, the most straightforward answer given the information provided will be 11 people.
As for the brownies, with ten people attending the dinner party and 20 brownies available, each person can have two brownies. Again, this is based on the assumption that each person will be content with two brownies.
In case of Henrietta's luncheon, to serve 8 salads with 7 tablespoons of Romano cheese each, she would need a total of 56 tablespoons of cheese. To convert this to cups, knowing that 1 cup contains 16 tablespoons, Henrietta would need 3.5 cups of Romano cheese.The correct option is c) 5-6 people.
