Question

Lena is making two dishes for an event. Each batch of her and cheese recipe calls for 6 ounces of cheese and 2 tablespoons of basil. For every two pizzas she needs 16 ounces of cheese and 5 tablespoons of basil. Lena buys 32 oz package of cheese. Does she have enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas

Answer 1

Answer: No, it is not enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

She needed 6 ounces of cheese and 2 tablespoons of basil for each batch of her Mac and cheese.

Now,

For every two pizzas she needed 16 ounces of cheese and 5 tablespoons of basil.

So, for 2 batches of Mac and cheese she needed = 12 ounces of cheese

and if for 2 pizzas she needed = 16 ounces of cheese

For 1 pizza she needed = 8 ounces of cheese

For 3 pizza she needed = 8× 3=24 ounces of cheese

Total requirement of cheese = 24+ 12=36 ounces

But she only buys 32 ounces package of cheese .

So, it is not enough to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas and 4 ounces is still needed i.e.

36-32 =4 ounces .

Answer 2

Answer:

Lena does not have enough cheese to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ounces of cheese required to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese

1 batch of Mac and Cheese requires 6 ounces of cheese,

Therefore,

2 batches of Mac and cheese requires = $6*2$

                                                                 =12 ounces of cheese

Number of ounces of cheese required to make 3 pizzas

2 pizzas needs 16 ounces of cheese.

That means 1 pizza needs 8 ounces of cheese.

Therefore,

3 pizzas need = $3*8$ ounces of cheese

                       =24 ounces of cheese

Total ounces of cheese she needs for the event

Cheese required to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese + Cheese required to make                       3 pizzas

=12 ounces + 24 ounces

=36 ounces.

Therefore Lena needs a total of 36 ounces of cheese for the event.

But she bought only 32 ounces of Cheese.

Therefore Lena does not have enough cheese to make 2 batches of Mac and cheese and 3 pizzas.
