Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is a. 5.

Explanation:

To start, we must know that 1 pound = 16 oz.

Boxes of 50 pounds X 16 = 800 oz are purchased

If customers are served a 4 oz serving, we must perform the following calculation:

800/4 = 200 servings

Finally, in order to cover the demand of 1000 customers, we divide this amount between the maximum portions per box:

1000/200 = 5 boxes.
