So hmm a conjugate, is pretty much just, the same binomial, but with a different sign in the middle, so, a + b, has a conjugate of a - b
or -a + b, has a conjugate of - a - b, or c - d, has a conjugate of c +d, and so on
anyway, the idea being, to "rationalize" the expression, namely, getting rid of the pesky radical in the denominator
so, we'll multiply the expression by 1, since anything times 1 is just itself
however, bear in mind, that 1, can be a/a, or b/b, or cheese/cheese, or anything/anything
so, we'll multiply the top and bottom of the fraction, by the conjugate of the denominator
anyhow, that said

Answer:
2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is solved by proportions.
Area of a square:
The area of a square of side l is given by:
8" X 8" square cake serves 8 people
Thus:
Area of 64 serves 8 people, so for 1 people, an area of 64/8 = 8 is needed.
144 people
The total area needed is:
How many 24" X 24" square cakes?
24*24 = 576
1 cake - 576
x cakes - 1152
Applying cross multiplication:
1152/576 = 2
2 24" X 24" square cakes are needed.
