Q:

PLS HELP! Tanisha is planning a party. She will serve hamburgers, potato salad, strawberry shortcake, and lemonade. Including Tanisha, 28 people will be at the party. Tanisha expects that each person will drink two 8−ounce glasses of lemonade at the party, and makes 448 ounces of lemonade. Tanisha's mother buys 38 lemons. They know it takes 8 lemons to make 80 ounces of lemonade. Does Tanisha need more lemons?

Accepted Solution

A:
Shee needs 448 ounces of lemonade.

448 ÷ 80 =5.8
⇒ There are 5.6 80-ounce of lemonade.

80 ounces of lemonade needed 8 lemons.
448 ounces of lemonade needed 8 x 5.6 = 44.8 lemons.

Tanisha has 38 lemons. 
She does not have enough lemons.
She needs 44.8 - 38 = 7 more lemons.

Answer: Tanisha needs more lemons. She needs 7 more.
