Question

One teacher wants to give each student 3/5 of a slice of pizza. If the teacher has 6 slices of pizza,then how many students will she be able to hand out pizza to

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

number of slices = 6 slices

amount each student receives = 3/5 slice per student

number of students

= number of slices / number of slices per student

= 6 ÷ (3/5)

= 6 x (5/3)

= 30/3

= 10 students

Answer 2

10 students

Explanation:

There is a direct proportionality relationship between the number of students and the slice of pizza available. In other words, as the number of pizza slice available increases, so does the number of students.

If one student gets 3/5 slice, 6 slices will be shared by

= 6/(3/5) students

= 6 * 5/3

= 10 students
