The problem is asking how many "Classic" cupcakes are needed if each of the 15 people eats exactly two-thirds (2/3) of a cupcake.

To calculate the total number of cupcakes, we multiply the number of people by the fraction of a cupcake each will eat:

\[
\text{Total cupcakes} = 15 \times \frac{2}{3}
\]

Now, let's solve:

\[
15 \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{30}{3} = 10
\]

So, you will need **10 Classic cupcakes** to satisfy the group of 15 people, with each eating two-thirds of a cupcake.

1. What if there were 20 people instead of 15?
2. How many cupcakes would be needed if each person ate three-fourths of a cupcake?
3. What happens if each person eats only half a cupcake?
4. How many cupcakes would be needed for a group of 10 people eating two-thirds each?
5. What is the total amount of cupcake each person would eat if they ate 1 whole cupcake?

**Tip:** Multiplying by fractions can be simplified by multiplying the numerator and then dividing by the denominator to get quicker results.

My classmates and I will each eat exactly two-thirds of a Classic cupcake. There are 15 of us. How many cupcakes do we need?
