If each pizza was cut into 8 slices and 6 pizzas were eaten, 48 slices were eaten in total. Each student could have eaten either 1 or 2 slices.
a. To find the total number of slices eaten, you can multiply the number of pizzas by the number of slices per pizza.
In this case, there were 6 pizzas and each pizza was cut into 8 slices.
Multiplying 6 by 8 gives us a total of 48 slices eaten.
b. To find how many slices each student could have eaten, you can divide the total number of slices eaten by the number of students in the class.
So, dividing 48 by 25 gives us approximately 1.92 slices per student.
Since each student can only eat whole slices, each student could have eaten either 1 or 2 slices.
The probable question may be:
2. Your year 7 class had a party and there were lots of pizzas ordered.
a. If each pizza was cut into 8 slices, and 6 pizzas were eaten, how many slices were eaten?
b. If there are 25 students in your class, how many slices out of the 6 pizzas could each student have eaten? Explain your answer below. It may help by including diagrams and different fractions to justify how many slices each student could have possibly eaten.
