Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:4 oz2 cakesStep-by-step explanation:Since 6 cakes serve 120 people, each cake serves 120/6 = 20 people. Each cake weighs (5 lb)(16 oz/lb) = 80 oz. Then each person gets ... (80 oz)/(20 persons) = 4 oz/person__150 servings will require 150/20 = 7.5 cakes. Peter already has 6 cakes, so needs to make 2 more.
