    320 cups

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assuming each guests uses only one cup of soup, the probability of getting a guest who needs a cup of soup is given as 2/5. Out of 800 people, then we expect 2/5*800=320 people who will need soup. Since we're assuming a cup of soup for each person then then the total amount of soup will be 320 people * 1 cup=320 cups.

    Therefore, you require 320 cups of soup for the guests.
