Given,

Mario wants to make a snack for family game night. He wants to make popcorn and his dad says that each person should get at least 1/2 cup of popcorn.

The popcorn bag says that it will make 3 cups of popcorn. If there are 5 people in his family.

To find: Will each person have at least 1/1 cup of popcorn? Explain.

Solution:

Given the total 3 cups of popcorn.

Each person should get at least 1/2 cup of corn.

Then, the total number of persons have 1/2 cup of popcorn is


(3)/((1)/(2))=6\text{ people}

Hence, a total number of 6 people can have 1/2 cup of popcorn.

Thus, each person has at least 1/2 cup of popcorn.
