Question

1. A sixth grade class is having a pizza party. The

teacher ordered 4 cheese pizzas, 4 sausage pizzas
and 4 veggie pizzas. If each pizza is cut into 6
pieces and each student gets 3 pieces, how many
students are there?

Answer 1

To find the number of students, divide the total number of pizza pieces by 3. The class has 24 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many students there are, we need to calculate the total number of pizza pieces.

There are 4 cheese pizzas x 6 pieces = 24 cheese pizza pieces.

There are also 4 sausage pizzas x 6 pieces and 4 veggie pizzas x 6 pieces, which gives us 24 sausage pizza pieces and 24 veggie pizza pieces, respectively.

The total number of pizza pieces is 24 + 24 + 24 = 72. Since each student gets 3 pieces, we divide the total number of pizza pieces by 3: 72 ÷ 3 = 24 students in the class.
