8 Dishes are plated

Five dishes.
6 Plates – one for each craftman

I’m unable to change my answer on the post, so is it OK if I change my answer here.
The answer to the amended question is 5 plates of food.
Thanks

Two different dishes are being plated up in the kitchen. There are more that are being served or already plated. It is a really confusing question.

8 dishes called out to be plated. 2 actually being shown plated – unless that 3rd one is a different plate in which case 3. Agree that it is not clear exactly what is meant by the question leaving me confused.
