Question

If one pizza feeds four students and you need to feed a total of 60 students, how many pizzas do you need? (Each student will only get one slice of pizza.) Use the sketch below to show your work.

Answer 1

P/60 = 1/4

P/15=1

P = 15 pizzas for 60 students if 1 pizza is for 4 student

the rations are the same: pizza/students

15/60 = 1/4

Answer is 15

each student gets 1/4 of a pizza. The slice of pizza is 1/4 the total pizza

60 slices = 60(1/4) = 15 pizzas
