Kevin is making potato casserole for a dinner party. He needs 2½ pounds of potatoes per guest. How many pounds of potatoes will he need for 6 guests?

15 pounds

6.5 pounds

25 pounds

12.5 pounds

2.5lb × 6 guest = 15 pounds

Answer 2

Answer: 15 pounds of potatoes.

Explanation:

Kevin will perform basic multiplication to find how many potatoes he needs for all of the guests. Since each person requires 2 1/2 pound of potatoes and there are a total of 6 guests, multiplying these two values will find the pounds of potatoes that are needed for all of the guests.

2 1/2 * 6 = 15 pounds of potatoes

Therefore, Kevin needs 15 pounds of potatoes to make potato casserole for everyone at the dinner party.
