Question

Murilo bought 8 pizzas for his baseball team to share equally after the game. Each pizza has 6 slices, and the expression representing the situation is StartFraction 48 over p EndFraction. Which of the following evaluations of the expression are correct? Check all that apply.

If p = 10, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with 2 slices left over.
If p = 12, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.
If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with 3 slices left over.
If p = 16, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with no slices left over.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct evaluation of the expressions is If p = 12, then each player will get 4 slices of pizza, with no slices left over and If p = 15, then each player will get 3 slices of pizza, with 3 slices left over.

If Murilo buys 8 pizza and each pizza has 6 slices, the total number of slices can be determined by multiplying 6 by 8. 6 x 8 = 48. There are a total of 48 slices of pizza.

In order to determine the number of slices of pizza that each player would get, divide the total number of slices by the number of player.

If p = 10, each player would get : 48 / 10 = 4 with 8 slices left over.

If p = 12, each player would get : 48 / 12 = 4 with 0 slices left over.

If p = 15, each player would get : 48 / 15 = 3 with 3 slices left over.

If p = 16, each player would get : 48 / 16 = 4 with 0 slices left over.
