Answer:

192 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

1) Create a proportion

[tex]\frac{8 (oz)}{10(servings)} =\frac{x(mayo)}{240(servings)} \\\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

2) Solve for x

[tex]\frac{8}{10} =\frac{x}{240}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 240

[tex]\frac{8}{10} *240=x\\192=x[/tex]

Therefore, Michele would need 192 oz of mayonnaise.

I hope this helps!
