Question

One teacher wants to give each student 35 of a slice of pizza. If the teacher has 6 slices of pizza, then how many students will she be able to hand out pizza to?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total ten  students can feed on 6 slices of pizza with each student getting $\frac{3}{5}$ of a pizza slice

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

Teacher wished to give $\frac{3}{5}$ of a pizza slice to each student

This means that each student will get only $\frac{3}{5} *$ one slice of pizza

Now the total number of slices of pizza $= 6$

Thus,

$\frac{3}{5}$ of a pizza slice to each student  $*$ total number of students $= 6$

Rearranging the above equation, we get -

$\frac{3}{5} * 1 * X = 6$

Where X is the number of students

$X = \frac{6}{\frac{3}{5} } \\X = \frac{5}{3} * 6\\X = 10$

Total ten  students can feed on 6 slices of pizza with each student getting $\frac{3}{5}$ of a pizza slice
