WHAT IS THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF BAGS REQUIRED TO MAKE A PIZZA FOR 48
PEOPLE ?

B. 2
C. 3
D. 4: 3
12 people = 2 cups of cheese 12 x
4 = 48 people
2 x 4= 8 cups of cheese
now we have 8 cups of cheese to make pizza for 48 people. each bag contains 3 cups.
make into a fraction 8 cups/ 3 cups = 2.67 or 3 bags

,3. a contractor plans to build an open box out of plywood, the box will measure 4ft long ,
3ft wide, 2ft tall. which of the following is the minimum amount of plywood needed to
build the box?
24 ft
32ft

take the area of the length ( its a box so there are 2 lengths of 4) so do 4 x 4 = 16 area or widt
(there are 2 widths of 3ft) so 3 x 2 = 6 ... 6 x 2 = 12
area of length (4) and width (3) ... 4 x 3 = 12 ..
