Question

At a larger pizza party, there are 18 people. Each person wants 3 slices, and each pizza has 8 slices. How many pizzas should they order?

Answer 1

They should order 7 pizzas.

Explanation:

18 people x 3 slices per person = 54 slices you will need for everyone

54 slices divided by 8 = 6.75 pizzas.

Round 6.75 to 7 pizzas.

They should order 7 pizzas because you cannot ask the pizza place for 6.75 pizzas.

Answer 2

7 pizzas

Explanation:

18 people × 3 slices each = 54 slices

54 ÷ 8 = 6.75

7 pizzas
