Question

If five slices of pizza cost 5.50 how much do two slices cost? Ten slices? Half a slice?

(Please explained how you got the answer too)

Answer 1

$2.20 for two slices, $11 for ten slices, and .55 for half a slice

Explanation:

Divide by 5 to find how much each pizza slice costs

5.50 ÷ 5 = 1.1

Each slice of pizza costs 1.1.

Multiply 1.1 by 2

1.1 × 2

= 2.2

Therefore, two pizza slices cost $2.20.

Multiply 1.1 by 10

1.1 × 10

= 11

Therefore, ten pizza slices cost $11.

To get what half a slice costs, go back to 1.1

Divide 1.1 by 2

1.1 ÷ 2 = .55

Therefore, half a slice of pizza cost .55.

Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
