To distribute the pizzas equally we divide the number of pizzas by total no. of people and that would be equal to the amount of pizza each person got.. So, the equation would be :


\sf \red{ (11)/(x) = (3)/(5) }


\sf \red{ (55)/(x) = {3}}


\sf \red{{x} = 18.3 \approx18 }

So, Total 18 people can eat the pizza...

Answer:18 people

Explanation:

ok so there are 11 pizzas, and each person eats 3/5 of a pizza so you divide 11/(3/5) and you get 18.33 but you cant be .33 of a person so we round down and get the answer
