Question

how many people will 5 pitchers serve if 1/8 pitchers serves one person and what is the work. A.1 3/8. B.20. C.40. D.80

Answer 1

1/8 of a pitcher serves 1 person
so if we had a full pitcher (8/8) we could serve 8 people
But we have 5 full pitchers, so 8×5=40
so 5 full pitchers could serve 40 people

Answer 2

Well to find this answer we will have to multiply 8 by 5 since there are 5 pitchers and each can serve 8 people.
8×5=40
So our answer would be that 5 pitchers can serve C. 40 people. 
Hope I helped!
