Question

Ten six graders will each eat 1/4 of a pizza. How many whole pizza pies need to be

Answer 1

Answer:

3 whole pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

$10 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}$

So 3 whole pizzas will need to be ordered.

Answer 2

Answer:

2 and a half pies

Step-by-step explanation:

ten sixth graders eat 1/4 each, therefore 4 kids eat 1 whole pie. similarly, 8 kids eat two whole pies, since two kids are remaining they eat 2/4 of a pie.

which can also be put in as 1/2. this means they eat half a pie. and that is how altogether it is 2 and a half pies.

hope this helps!
