Question

Six people want equally share 1 1/2 pizzas. how much pizza does each person get?

Answer 1

Each person gets 4 slices of pizza.

Given there are 6 people who want to equally share 1 1/2 pizzas, we can set up an equation by first converting 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:

1 1/2 = ((2 • 1) + 1) / 2
1 1/2 = 3/2

Now, we can divide 6 by 3/2:

6 / (3/2) = (6 • 2) / 3
12 / 3 = 4

Therefore, 6 / 1 1/2 = 4. This means each person receives 4 slices of pizza.
