There are 20 students in my class. Each student needs: .2 cups, 2 plates, 1 party hat and a pair of earphones. My teacher has 2 boxes with plates and forks. Each box contains 8 plates and 10 forks. Would this be enough for the 20 students? Account for each plate and cup. Explain your answer.

Simple, no. This would not be enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you mentioned that there are 20 students and each of them needed 2 plates. So, there would need to be at least 40 plates. Forks seem irrelevant in this question but if the teacher has 8 plates in 1 box and another 8 in the second box, that would sum up to 16 plates that are available. And the fact that the box doesn't even include the other items, should hint the lack of items available for the students.

This question seemed worded differently. But tried my best. :)
