Question

Murilo bought 8 pizzas for his baseball team to share equally after the game. Each pizza has 6 slices, and the expression representing the situation is 48/p Which of the following evaluations of the expression are correct? Check all that apply.

If p = 10, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with 2 slices left over.
If p = 12, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with 3 slices left over.
If p = 16, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.

Answer 1

Murilo has 48 pizza slices to share with his team. The correct evaluations of the slices each player will get are: 4 slices each with 2 slices left over if there are 10 players, and 4 slices each with no slices left over if there are 12 players. The other options are incorrect based on the total number of slices and players.

Step-by-step explanation:

Murilo bought 8 pizzas for his baseball team to share, and each pizza has 6 slices, making a total of 48 slices. To determine how many slices each player gets, we use the expression 48/p, where p represents the number of players.

If p = 10, each player would get 4 slices, with 8 slices being divided among 10 players, resulting in 2 slices left over.

If p = 12, each player would get 4 slices, with exactly 48 slices divided by 12 players, resulting in no slices left over.

If p = 15, each player would get 3 slices of pizza, with 45 slices being equally shared among 15 players, resulting in 3 slices left over, not none as one of the options incorrectly suggests.

If p = 16, it is impossible for each player to get 3 slices without having any leftover, because 16 times 3 is 48, and since there are no extra slices, this evaluation is also incorrect.

Thus, only the first two evaluations are correct: If p = 10, then there will be 2 slices left over, and If p = 12, then there will be no slices left over.

Answer 2

The second one, The fourth one, and the last one.
If p, the amount of people, is 12 then each person Will get 4 slices and there will be no slices left
If p, the amount of people, is 15, then each person will get 3 slices but there will be 3 slices left over
If p, the amount of people, is 16, then each person will get 3 slices of pizza with no leftovers.
