Mrs. Stewart is making banana pudding for a family reunion. Her recipe uses 2 bananas per dish of pudding. If one dish of pudding can feed 22 people, about how many bananas will she need to feed the 242 people that will be at the reunion?

Question

Aureo · Answer

So you have 2 bananas in one dish.  That feeds 22 people.  For the purpose of this math problem we can say the 2 bananas themselves can feed 22 people.  To make it simpler lets reduce it to one banana.  How many people can one banana feed?
