Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
From the table given, at Mimi's Bakery, 1 X-Large sheet cake size will give us a number of servings of 120.
To find out how many X-Large cake size the school should order, simply divide the number of expected expected guests by the number of servings the X-Large cake will do.
Given that the score is expecting 2,889 guests, the school should order for:
2,889 ÷ 120 = 24.075 X-Large cakes.
Let's just say, an estimated 24 X-Large size cake should be ordered.
To determine the number of X-large sheet cakes the school should order, divide the total number of guests by the number of servings per cake and round up to the nearest whole number.
To determine how many X-large sheet cakes the school should order for 2,889 guests, we need to consult the table provided. The table shows the number of servings for different size cakes. Let's look at the X-large sheet cake row to find out how many servings it provides.
According to the table, the X-large sheet cake serves 64 people. To find out the number of X-large sheet cakes needed for 2,889 guests, we divide the total number of guests by the number of servings per cake:
Total number of guests / Number of servings per X-large sheet cake = Number of X-large sheet cakes needed
Using this formula, we have: 2,889 guests / 64 servings per X-large sheet cake = 45.14 X-large sheet cakes. Since we can't have a fraction of a cake, we round up to 46 X-large sheet cakes. Therefore, the school should order 46 X-large sheet cakes for the high school graduation.
