Question

1/8 of pizza cost 2 dollars. In an hour, 6 1/4 pizzas were sold. How much money was made at the food booth in that hour

Answer 1

First of all, you would make 6 1/4 into an improper fraction. This makes it 25/4, then you multiply it by 2 to get 50/8 and have common denominators. Divide that by 1/8, which would be 50. Then since each 1/8 costs 2 dollars you would multiply 50 by 2. So, the answer would be that they made 100 dollars.
