Respuesta :

118 Guests
12-Ounce Serving of Salad Per Guest

When it says words like each, or per that means that you multiply them. We'll need to do something called long multiplication.

 118
x 12

2*8 =  16
2*1 =  2
2*1 = 2

Add those together straight down the column. 
236

Now move on to the next number!
 
1*8 =   80
1*1 =  1
1*1 = 1

Add those numbers together.
1180

Now add both of those numbers together...

236+1180 = 1426
