Question

one teacher want to give each student 4/5 of a slice of pizza, if the teacher has 4 slices of pizza, then how many students will she be able to hand out pizza to

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 5 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a division problem.

To solve, divide 4 by 4/5.

There is a strategy for this- Keep, Change, Flip.

Keep the dividend like it is, which is 4 or 4/1.

Change the division to multiplication.

And flip the divisor- 4/5 to 5/4.

When you multiply, you should get 20/4.

Simplify by dividing 20 by 4.

20 divided by 4 is 5.

So the answer is 5 students
