Answer:

10 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaxson is throwing a pizza party. He has 1\tfrac{1}{4}1 4 1 pounds of cheese available and he needs \tfrac{1}{8} 8 1 pound of cheese to make each pizza. How many pizzas can he make?

We can interprete the above question as:

1/8 pounds of cheese = 1 pizza

1 1/4 pounds of cheese = x pizzas

Cross Multiply

1/8 × x = 1 1/4 × 1

x = 1 1/4 ÷ 1/8

x = 5/4 ÷ 1/8

x = 5/4 × 8/1

x = 10 pizzas
