Question

Jerome is cooking dinner. He needs 8 ounces of broccoli for each person.

Answer 1

Due to the fact he does not know how many people are attending, you would represent the people value with a variable. Because we know he's given 8 ox. per person, you would need to write the expression as 8x.8 to represent the ox. needed and the x representing the people.

Divide 32 by 8 to see how many people he can serve,
32/8=4

Answer 2

The expression for the amount of ounces times people would be x8
and if he had 32 ounces he could feed 4 people
32 divided by 8 = 4
