Question

John is cooking 234 pounds of chicken. He is making a dinner for 8 people, including himself. If everyone gets an equal amount, how much chicken will John serve each person?

Answer 1

Each person would get 29.25 pounds of chicken

Explanation:

John is cooking 234 pounds of chicken.

He is making a dinner for 8 people, including himself.

This means that he wants to make dinner for just 8 people.

Hence, he would need to divide the 234 pounds of chicken into 8 places.

234 / 8 = 29.25 pounds

Each person would get 29.25 pounds of chicken.
