Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Lance wants everyone to have 1 hot dog at each of 2 meals, then each person will get 2 hot dogs.

There are 125 people attending the reunion. Thus, Lance needs

$125\cdot 2=250$ hotdogs.

The hot dogs come in packages of 8. Divide the number of needed hotdogs by the number of hotdogs in package to get the number of packeges needed:

$250:8=31\ r2.$

Then Lance should buy 32 packages
