Answer:

6 people can share the 4 pizzas

Explanation:

Given that the number of pizza Chen has to share is 4pizza.

Each of chen friend will eat 2/3 of a pizza.

To find umber of chen friend that will eat the 4 pizzas.

So, equating these expressions, we have.

Let x represent the number of friends that will consume the 4 pizzas.

1 friend = 2/3 pizza

x friends = 4 pizzas

To get the value for x, cross multiple the two equations to make it a single equation, there we have it to be,

2/3x = 4, divide through by 2/3

X = 4 รท 2/3

X = 4 x 3/2

X = 6

Since x represent number of friends that can share the 4 pizzas

Therefore 6 people can share the 4 pizzas
