Answer:

6 hot dogs package assuming she's buying a single package to contains 10 package or approximately 8 rolls if she buys the 8 package containing above 60 rolls of hot dogs.

In my opinion, she needs at least 8 package of hot dog rolls to make hot dogs for her guests.

Explanation:

Hello,

There are typically 10 hot dogs in a single package. However some may contain 8 hot dogs rolls in a single pack so we'll solve for both in case which ever one she decides to buy.

My teacher is expecting 30 guests coming to the party and each 1 one them wants to eat 2 hot dogs.

To solve this question, we would first of all know the total number of hot dogs they'll probably eat at the party.

2 hot dogs = 1 person

y hot dogs = 30 people

y = (30 × 2) / 1

y = 60 hot dog.

Therefore, the guest would most likely consume at least 60 hot dogs at the party.

However, in a single hot dog package, it contains 10 hot dogs in it.

Now we'll have to find out the total number of hot dogs package my teacher needs to buy to prepare the hot dogs for her guests.

To do that, we'll have to divide the total number of hot dogs expected to be consumed by the total number of hot dogs in one package.

Number of package = total number of hot dogs expected to be consumed / total number of hot dogs in one package.

Number of package she needs = 60 / 10

Number of package she needs = 6

Therefore, my teacher requires 6 hot dog package.

But some hot dogs comes in 8 rolls per package

Using the same method above,

Number of rolls she needs = 60 / 8

Number of rolls she needs = 7.5 approximately 8 rolls
