Answer 1

Answer:

There are 8 servings per box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler and Eric plan to use 15 boxes of spaghetti for the soccer team's pasta dinner tonight for the players and their families.

It is provided that each box of spaghetti has the same number of servings.

Tyler and Eric will make 120 servings of spaghetti in all.

Compute the number of servings per box as follows:

$\text{Number of servings per box}=\frac{\text{Total number of servings}}{\text{Number of boxes}}$

                                            $=\frac{120}{15}\\\\=8$

Thus, there are 8 servings per box.
