Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. O’conner will make 16 batches.

Explanation:

Given that total 72 people are going to attend the party, and Mrs. O’ conner will prepare 2 batches of banana pudding for every 9 people attending.

72, when divided in a group of 9 people, it will come = 72/9 = 8 groups

For a group, she will make  batches

Therefore,  1 group (9 people) = 2 batch

 8 groups (9*8=72 people) = 8*2 = 16 batches

Hence, Mrs. O’conner will make 16 batches for 72 people.
