Question

Beth is cooking pizzas and cuts each one into 8 pieces. If she has 14 people coming to her house for dinner and she thinks that each person will eat 3 slices of pizza, how many pizzas should she make?

Answer 1

She would make 7 pizzas

Answer 2

She need to cook 6 pizzas

Each person eats 3 slices and each pizza has 8 slices.

For every 3 pizzas, 8 people eat 3 slices

16 people eat 6 pizzas

6 slices will be left aside and no one will eat them.

Hope that helped!

Have a great day!
