Three of every 5 pizzasthat Miggy's Pizza sells are cheese pizzas. Miggy sold 80 pizzas today. How many of them would you expect were cheese?

80÷5= 16 sets of 5 pizzas.

If three of every five pizzas are cheese, multiply the sets of pizza by three.

16*3= 48

48 Cheese Pizzas

You can check your work by dividing 3 by 2 (The original set of pizzas) and 48 by 32. They both equal 1.5, suggesting that both equations are equal.
