Question

Cyrus is inviting 11 friends over for pizza. He would like to have enough pizza so each friend can have 1/4 of a pizza. About how many pizzas should he order?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cyrus needs to order 3 full pizzas to feed his 11 friends .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of friends invited  = 11

Share of pizza for each friend = 1/4 pizza

Now,  as  1 friend eats 1/4 of  a pizza.

⇒  11 friends eat  = $11 \times \frac{1}{4} = 2.75$

So, 11 friends can eat 2 .75 pizza.

Since pizza come as a whole number.

And 2. 75 is nearly equal to 3.00

Hence,  Cyrus needs to order 3 full pizzas to feed his 11 friends .
