Question

Cyrus is inviting 11 friends over for pizza. He would like to have enough pizza so each friend can have 1/4 of a pizza. About how many pizzas should he order?

Answer 1

Cyrus needs to order 3 full pizzas to feed his 11 friends .

Explanation:

The number of friends invited = 11

Share of pizza for each friend = 1/4 pizza

Now, as 1 friend eats 1/4 of a pizza.

⇒ 11 friends eat =
`11 * (1)/(4)  = 2.75`

So, 11 friends can eat 2 .75 pizza.

Since pizza come as a whole number.

And 2. 75 is nearly equal to 3.00

Hence, Cyrus needs to order 3 full pizzas to feed his 11 friends .
