Question

Nathan is hosting a part for 40 guests. He will count each of the 45 drop in guests as half a guest. How much of each food item should Nathan order?

Fried chicken- 24 pieces
Deli meats- 3 2/3
Lasagna 10 3/4

Answer 1

25 guests is 2.5 times more than 10

Explanation:

Multiply by 2.5

Chicken = 16 x 2.5 = 40

Lasagna = 7 x 2.5 = 17.5 , round to 18

Deli meat = 1.8 x 2.5 = 4.5, round to 5

Sliced cheese = 15 x 2.5 = 37.5, round to 38

Buns = 1 x 2.5 = 2.5, round to 3

Potato salad = 2 x 2.5 = 5
