Answer:

28.4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 people have a combined weight of 880 pounds, each person sould have a weight of 880/5 = 176 pounds.

Now, we can set up a proportion:

[tex]\frac{176}{50} =\frac{100}{x}[/tex]

Cross Multiply:

176x = 5000

x = 5000/176 = 28.4 cups

The required number of cups that each person has 5.6 cups per 100 pounds.
