Step-by-step explanation:

The text of the question is incomplete. However, the likely question that can be asked may imply that; "what number of corn package did she use?"

Given that

1 package of corn = 8 cups

1 serving = 1 cup

Total individual = 11

Servings per individual = 2

If there are 2 servings per individual then 1 package of corn will serve the following number of people.

1 package of corn = 8 / 2 individuals

1 package of corn = 4 individuals

Divide both sides by 4.

1 package of corn / 4 = 4 individuals / 4

¼ package of corn = 1 individual.

Re-arrange

1 individual = ¼ package of corn.

So, this means that 11 individuals will get;

[Multiply both sides by 11]

11 * 1 individual = ¼ * 11 package of corn

11 individuals = 11/4 package of corn

11 individuals = 2.75 packages of corn.

Hence, Ron will need 2.75 packages of corn for 11 individuals
