Question

Dale's mom is throwing him a birthday party. She plans to serve three slices of pizza to each of the 12 kids that are attending. She can get a slices per box from the pizzeria. Write the number of boxes she will use as a mixed number.

Answer 1

The number of boxes Dale's mom will use for party is 36 boxes

Explanation:

Given as :

The total number of kids in party = 12

The number of slices of pizza serve to each kids = 3

So, total number of slices of pizza serve in the party = total number of kids in party × The number of slices of pizza serve to each kids

Or, total number of slices of pizza serve in the party = 12 × 3 = 36

Now, As The number of slices in one box = 1

∵ 1 slice of pizza is available in 1 box

∴ 36 slices of pizza is available in 1 × 36 boxes

Hence, The number of boxes Dale's mom will use for party is 36 boxes Answer
