Question

Alexis bake 90 pizzas each pizza is cut either into 8 small slices or 6 slices. Alexis has 5 small slices for every 3 large slices. How many of the 90 pizzas are cut into small slices?

Answer 1

there's about 22 because if you extend it by going 3+1 and so on it wont hit 90 exactly but it'll be 91, so 22 small sliced pizzas and 23 large sliced pizzas

Answer 2

56.25 pizzas of the 90 pizzas are cut into small slices

Explanation:

Total number of pizza baked = 90 pizzas

Since Alexis has 5 small slices for every 3 large slices.

It simple implies that the ratio of small slices to large slice is 5 : 3, total slicing ratio 5 + 3 = 8.

Meaning that for every 8 slices, 5 are small and 3 are large.

So 5/8 of all of the pizzas are cut into 8 small slices and 3/8 of all of the pizzas are cut into 6 large slices.

So numbers of the 90 pizzas cutted into small slices will be:

5/8 of all of the 90 pizzas

= 5/8 * 90

= 0.625 * 90

= 56.25

So, 56.25 pizzas of the 90 pizzas are cut into small slices
