Question

A school cafeteria sold 1,280 slices of pizza the first week, 640 the second week, and 320 the third week. If this pattern continues, in what week will the cafeteria sell 40 slices? Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

If you look at the question, You would see a pattern. That pattern is the amount of slices in one week is divided by 2 the next week. So on the fourth week you would do 320/2 and get 160. if you keep carrying on the pattern yourself, you would do: 160/2 = 80. 80/2 = 40. And there's your answer. week 4 we had 160 slices sold. week 5 80 slices sold. Week 6 40 slices sold

Simplify this into your own words if you have to
