Each student will receive
of pizza.
<h3>Further Explanation</h3>
<u>Given:</u>
- There are 40 students
- They share 5 pizza equally
<u>Question:</u>
What fraction of the pizza did each student receive?
We can solve this problem by using proportions:
Let's say, the portion of pizza that student receive is 'x pizza' so the equation will be :
![\boxed {\frac{5 pizzas}{40 students} = \frac{x pizzas}{1 student} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%20%7B%5Cfrac%7B5%20pizzas%7D%7B40%20students%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%20pizzas%7D%7B1%20student%7D%20%7D)
by doing cross multiplication we get:
![\boxed {x pizza = \frac{5 pizzas \times 1 student}{40 students} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%20%7Bx%20pizza%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B5%20pizzas%20%5Ctimes%201%20student%7D%7B40%20students%7D%20%7D)
We can cancel out the student unit, then we get
![\boxed {x pizza = \frac{5}{40} = \frac{1}{8} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%20%7Bx%20pizza%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B40%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B8%7D%20%7D)
So, each student will receive
part of pizza.
