Answer:
Explanation:
<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> is a bacteria that causes food poisoning and a range of other diseases. Staphylococcal food poisoning is due to the consumption of a toxin produced by <em>S</em>. <em>aureus</em>. The toxin is usually preformed in the food, which means, one need not ingest the bacteria before developing food poisoning.
An important characteristic of the toxin is that it is heat stable. Although the bacteria itself is not heat stable, once it grows in the food and produces the toxin, heat treatment is no longer effective, because even though the bacteria will be killed off, the toxin will remain.
Another characteristic of <em>S</em>. <em>aureus </em>is that it can tolerate high amounts of salt.
<em>S</em>. <em>aureus</em> is also a normal flora of the skin, so it is almost always present on the skin of animals used as meat.
Because the bacteria is salt tolerant, and its toxin is heat stable, it is often the culprit in foods that have been processed with heat and/or by curing (salting), as is the case with processed ham, sausage and salted pork.
The correct answer is 180 ounces.
According to the information provided, the manager expects 120 people that night. The probability of ordering pasta is 1 in 5, which means that 24 of the 120 people visiting the restaurant will order pasta (120/5 = 24). Half of these people (12) are expected to order a dinner portion and half (12) will order the half portion. Since, the dinner portion weighs 10 ounces, 12 people will need 120 (12*10) ounces. Also, the half portion weighs 5 ounces, so 12 people will need 60 (12*5) ounces. In total, he will need 120+60=180 ounces of pasta.
