Question

Claudia is making a gelatin dessert for a party. She plans on making 12 servings for every 5 people. If each pan Claudia uses to make the dessert holds 8 servings, what is the minimum number of these pans that she needs in order to make enough to feed 10 people?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Key Word: 12 servings for every 5 people. if she makes it to hold 8 servings, what is enough plans she needs to feed 10 people?

formula: so 12 for 5 then 24 for 10.

solving problem:

12 people over 5 people = x over 10 people

since 5 times 2 equals 10 then 12 times is 24.. so we need 24 servings

we know from reading the question that each pan makes 8 servings.

`(24)/(8) = 3`

ANSWER : 3
