To determine how many more grapes 8 people eat than 5 people, we first need to find the number of grapes eaten by each group.
From the table you provided, we can observe the pattern:
- For 1 person: 8 grapes
- For 2 people: 16 grapes
- For 3 people: 24 grapes
It appears that the number of grapes eaten increases by 8 grapes for each additional person. Therefore, we can generalize the pattern:
\[ \text{Grapes Eaten} = 8 \times \text{Number of People} \]
Now, we can calculate the number of grapes eaten by 8 people and by 5 people:
- For 8 people:
\[ \text{Grapes Eaten by 8 people} = 8 \times 8 = 64 \text{ grapes} \]
- For 5 people:
\[ \text{Grapes Eaten by 5 people} = 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ grapes} \]
Now, we can subtract the number of grapes eaten by 5 people from the number of grapes eaten by 8 people:
\[ 64 - 40 = 24 \]
Thus, 8 people eat 24 more grapes than 5 people.
So, the final answer is:
24
