Question

At lunch 3 1/4 small pizzas were equally divided amping students. If each student ate 1/4 of a pizza, how many students were fed?

Answer 1

13 students were fed

Explanation:

now first in order to count we will have to turn 3 1/4 into a whole number which means we will have to multiply the denomintor by 3 and add it to the numerator which is 1

4 x 3= 12 ..... 12 + 1 = 13

13/4 and the denominator always stays the same

and now to count we will have to divide 13/4 divided by 1/4

now instead of dividing you can just multiply them by switching the denominator and numerator 1/4 to 4/1

13/4 x 4/1

52/4

13
