Answer 1

Answer: 15 pounds of potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kevin will perform basic multiplication to find how many potatoes he needs for all of the guests. Since each person requires 2 1/2 pound of potatoes and there are a total of 6 guests, multiplying these two values will find the pounds of potatoes that are needed for all of the guests.

2 1/2 * 6 = 15 pounds of potatoes

Therefore, Kevin needs 15 pounds of potatoes to make potato casserole for everyone at the dinner party.
