Question

Mrs.Silva orders 5 pizzas for every 20 students working on the campus clean up. How many pizzas should she order if 48 students participate? EXPLIAN​

Answer 1

She should order 12 pizzas.

Explanation:

5 pizza for every 20 students gives us the ratio 5:20.

5/20 = 0.25 = the amount of pizza each student gets.

If there are 48 students, you would just multiply 0.25 * 48 to get your answer.
