Diego hosted a spaghetti dinner for the soccer team. he made six boxes of biscotti to feed 20 people that came. next time, 50 people are coming! how many boxes of piscotty deep should diego buy to feed all those people explain or show your reasoning

The number of Piscotty deep that Diego should order is 15 boxes.

In order to determine the boxes that would be needed to feed 50 people, the first step is to determine the number of boxes that would be needed to feed 1 person. In order to determine the box that would be needed to feed 1 person, divide the number of boxes by the number of people

Boxes needed to feed one person = 6/ 20 = 0.3

The second step is to determine the number of boxes that would be needed to feed 50 people.

Number of boxes needed to feed 50 people = boxes needed to feed one person x 50

0.3 x 50 = 15 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Six boxes of biscotti can feed 20 people.

x boxes of biscotti are needed to feed 50 people.

Put the information into a equation.

6/20 = x/50

20x = 300

÷20 both sides

x = 15
