sebastian is making pizza he has 1 and 5/6 cups of sause if he uses 1/3 cups to make 1 pizza how much pizzas can he make with all

Answer 1

We want to know how many pizzas can each have 1/3 cup of sauce. Imagine drawing pizzas and pouring 1/3 cup on each one until the total sauce runs out. So we need to divide the amount of sauce Sebastian is starting with by 1/3:

First change 1 5/6 to an improper fraction. To do that, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator:

1 5/6 = 11/6

11/6 ÷ 1/3

Use Keep- Change- Flip.

Keep the first fraction the same, change divide to multiply, and flip the second fraction:

11/6 x 3/1

11 x 3 = 33

6 x 1 = 6

33/6

Change that back to a mixed number using long division:

33/6 = 5 3/6 = 5 1/2

So Sebastian can make 5 whole pizzas.
