    Step-by-step explanation:

    The text of the question is incomplete. However, the likely question that can be asked may imply that; "what number of corn package did she use?"

    Given that

    1 package of corn = 8 cups

    1 serving = 1 cup

    Total individual = 11

    Servings per individual = 2

    If there are 2 servings per individual then 1 package of corn will serve the following number of people.

    1 package of corn = 8 / 2 individuals

    1 package of corn = 4 individuals

    Divide both sides by 4.

    1 package of corn / 4 = 4 individuals / 4

    ¼ package of corn = 1 individual.

    Re-arrange

    1 individual = ¼ package of corn.

    So, this means that 11 individuals will get;

    [Multiply both sides by 11]

    11 * 1 individual = ¼ * 11 package of corn

    11 individuals = 11/4 package of corn

    11 individuals = 2.75 packages of corn.

    Hence, Ron will need 2.75 packages of corn for 11 individuals
