It is estimated that each guest at a party will eat

3

pounds of chocolates. How many guest can be served with 12 pounds of chocolate?

Answer 1

if there is 34 pounds in all and 12 guests, you need to start your step by step with the multiplication of 12 x 1, 12 x 2, 12 x 3, etc.

12 x 2 is 24 and 12 x 3 is 36. 34 pounds will not feed all of the people equally, so you must reduce the amount till you can feed the 12 people. I would actually have 2.8 pounds per person. 2.8 pounds x 12 = 33.6
