Question

The teacher has a pizza party doe the class she orders five boxes of pizza and each pizza box has 8 slices. In the classroom, there are 19 students. How many slices of pizza does each student get and how many slices of pizza are going to be left over if there is any?. Use any kinds of visuals and any other methods to show your work and how you solved the problem.

Answer 1

5 boxes x 8 slices per box = 5x8 = 40 slices total

19+1 teacher = 20 people

each gets 40/20 = 2 slices of pizza

UNLESS the teacher doesn't get any. then

each student gets 40/19 = 2 slices plus 2 slices left over

40/19 = 2 with remainder of 2

19x2 = 38. 40-38 = 2 left over
