Question

A large pizza has 12 slices. 5 pizzas were shared amongst 3 classrooms. How many pizzas did each classroom receive? Express answer as a mixed number fraction.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are a total of 5 x 12 = 60 slices of pizza.

To divide the 60 slices of pizza equally among 3 classrooms, we can perform the following division:

60 ÷ 3 = 20

Each classroom received 20 slices of pizza.

To express this as a mixed number fraction, we can write:

20 = 18 + 2

So each classroom received 18 slices of pizza and 2/12 (or 1/6) of a pizza.

Therefore, each classroom received 18 1/6 or 18 and 1/6 pizzas

Answer 2

1 2/3 pizzas

Explanation:

12 x 5 = 60

60/3 = 20

20/12 = 1 8/12 = 1 2/3

1 2/3 pizzas
