Question

mrs. plummer ordered 48 pizzas for the graduation party. If 1/3 of the pizzas were cheese. How many pizzas had only cheese on them

Answer 1

Hello there!

To find how many pizzas only have cheese on them, you'll need to divide the number of pizzas ordered by 3. You'll need to divide the number of pizzas by 3 because 1/3 of the pizzas have cheese on them so by dividing 48 by 3, you'll be finding 1/3 of the pizzas w/ cheese. 

48/3=16

Once you've divided 48 by 3, you'll get 16 pizzas w/ cheese.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

16 because one third of 48 is 16
