Question

At a party the host orders 12 pizzas that are cut into 8 slices each. There are 30 people at the party. How many slices does each person get? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

3 1/5

Explanation:

Since the 12 pizzas are being cut into 8 slices each, that would be 12×8, which is 96. And if you're distributing those 96 slices evenly to 30 people, each person would get 3.2 slices. The mixed number version for 3.2 is 3 2/10, and if you simplify that, the answer would be 3 1/5 slices.
