Question

Maria is making a gelatin dessert for a party. She plans on making 12 servings for every 6 people. If each pan Maria uses to make the dessert holds 8 servings, what is the minimum number of these pans will she needs in order to serve 112 people?

Please I really need help.

Answer 1

Very easy!
6 people= 12 servings so 1 person= 2 servings
We have 112 people so we need 112 x 2= 224 servings
So she will make 224 servings with an 8 servings pan, 224/8= 28 pans.
The minimum number of pans she need in order to serve 112 people is 28 pans!
