Ethan had 7 of his friends over. He ordered cheese pizzas and mozzarella sticks for the 8 of them. In all, there were 64 pieces of food. If each person had 5 slices of pizza, find the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate

Answer 1

If each person had 5 slices of pizza, the total number of slices of pizza the eight ate is 5*8 = <<8*5=40>>40 slices.
The total number of mozzarella sticks is 64-40 = <<64-40=24>>24
If there were eight people, each had 24/8 = <<24/8=3>>3 mozzarella sticks. Answer: \boxed{3}.
