Final answer:
Without additional context for Steve and Vincent's question, we can't provide the exact total amount of rice needed. However, by using the example provided with Henrietta's salads, we learn how to calculate the total amount of an ingredient by multiplying and converting tablespoons to cups, resulting in 3.5 cups needed for the salads.
Explanation:
To find the total amount of rice that Steve and Vincent need to bring for their breakfast fellowship, we would need more information from the question. However, since we're lacking that context, let us tackle a similar type of problem provided in the example.
In the given example, Henrietta is preparing 8 salads with each requiring 7 tablespoons of Romano cheese. To find out how much cheese she needs in total, we multiply the number of salads by the tablespoons of cheese per salad:
8 salads * 7 tablespoons/salad = 56 tablespoons
Now, we need to convert tablespoons to cups. There are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup, so:
56 tablespoons / 16 tablespoons/cup = 3.5 cups of Romano cheese
Therefore, Henrietta will need 3.5 cups of Romano cheese for her luncheon.
