Question

You are making small pizzas. You have 12 cups of flour. Each pizza crust requires 3/4 cup of flour. How many pizza crusts can you make?

Answer 1

For these kinds of question, multiplication is the best way to go! Or even drawing a picture is helpful.

What's 12 cups x (3/4 cup for each pizza crust)?

Answer 2

This would be a division problem. We need to divide the 12 cups into 3/4 cup individual serving.
12/(3/4) =
12 * (4/3) =
48/3 = 16
You can make 16 pizzas.
