Question

Ten six graders will each eat 1/4 of a pizza. How many whole pizza pies need to be

ordered for the ten students? Show your work

Answer 1

3 whole pizzas

Explanation:

`10 * (1)/(4) = (10)/(4) = (5)/(2) = 2 (1)/(2)`

So 3 whole pizzas will need to be ordered.

Answer 2

2 and a half pies

Explanation:

ten sixth graders eat 1/4 each, therefore 4 kids eat 1 whole pie. similarly, 8 kids eat two whole pies, since two kids are remaining they eat 2/4 of a pie.

which can also be put in as 1/2. this means they eat half a pie. and that is how altogether it is 2 and a half pies.

hope this helps!
