Write a multiplication equation to determine the number of people, p, who can be invited to the party. How many people can Clancy invite to his party if he needs a serving of yogurt as well?

Answer 1

Answer:

564 people can be invited to the party

Info-

Total number of cups of yogurt is 423 cups

1 serving = 3/4 pf a cup

Each guest gets 3/4 of a cup or 1 serving

We need to find out how many guests can be invited to the party

Cups : People

3/4 : 1

423 : p

CROSS MULTIPLY

3/4p = 423 times 1

3p = 423 times 4

p= 1,692/3

P would = 564
