Final answer:
Desean can feed 8 people with 4 pizzas if each person eats 2/5 of a pizza, as there are 5 portions of 2/5 in one pizza, yielding 20 portions in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many people can be fed with 4 pizzas if each person eats 2/5 of a pizza. To find the answer, we need to determine how many 2/5 portions are in 4 pizzas.
Since one whole pizza can be divided into 5 portions of 2/5 each, we multiply the number of pizzas by 5 (which is the number of 2/5 portions in one pizza):
4 pizzas × 5 portions/pizza = 20 portions
These 20 portions represent the total number of people Desean can feed, where each person eats 2/5 of a pizza. Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) 8 people because each person eats 2/5 of a pizza, so 4 pizzas divided into 2/5 portions each would feed 8 people.
