Explanation:

Answer 2

1. 78 ounces

2. 52 ounces

3. 12 guests

Explanation:

1. Consider 6 ounces of dough and 4 ounces of sauce for each person as a set. So 1 set will have 10 ounces. Then, we divide the total ounces, 130 ounces by 10, which will give us 13 sets or people.Then, to find the ounces of dough,just multiply 6 ounces by 13 which will give us 78 ounces.

2. Similar to previous one, just multiply 4 ounces by 13 which will give us 52 ounces or simply minus 78 ounces from 130.

3. We obtained 13 sets(people) from number 1. Minus one (the host, yourself) from 13, we'll get 12.
