The 32 students in Mrs. Colby's class will share 80 slices of pizza equally. How many slices will each student get? Enter the correct answer to complete the statement. The students will each get slices. Explain how to get the fraction after you find the remainder. The slices leftover can each be cut in ? giving everyone another? v of a slice.
step 1
Divide 80 by 32
80/32=40/16=20/8=10/4=5/2=2.5=2 1/2
each student get 2 1/2 slices
2 1/2=2+0.5=2+1/2
the fraction is 5/2
so
5/2=4/2+1/2=2+1/2=2 1/2
we have 32 students by 2 1/2
so
32 students by 2
32*2=64 slices
the remainder is
80-64=16 slices
divide 16 by 32
16/32=1/2
therefore
2+1/2=2 1/2
the answers part 2 are
The 16 slices leftover can each be cut in 2 half........giving everyone another (1/2) of a slice
