To determine how many more grapes 8 people eat than 5 people, we first need to find out how many grapes 8 people and 5 people eat based on the pattern in the provided table.
From the table, we can see that:
- 1 person eats 8 grapes.
- 2 people eat 16 grapes.
- 3 people eat 24 grapes.
The pattern indicates that each person eats 8 grapes. Therefore, we can calculate the number of grapes eaten by any number of people by multiplying the number of people by the number of grapes each person eats (8 grapes).
-
For 8 people: \[ 8 \text{ people} \times 8 \text{ grapes/person} = 64 \text{ grapes} \]
-
For 5 people: \[ 5 \text{ people} \times 8 \text{ grapes/person} = 40 \text{ grapes} \]
Now, we find out how many more grapes 8 people eat than 5 people: \[ 64 \text{ grapes} - 40 \text{ grapes} = 24 \text{ grapes} \]
Thus, 8 people eat 24 more grapes than 5 people.
So the answer is: 24
