Question

Elena can make 15 pizzas in 3 hours. If the number of pizzas is represented by p and time is represented by t, Write an equation that shows the total number of pizzas made in terms of time.

p = 5t

3t = 15p

p/t = 15

p = 1/5t

Answer 1

p = 5t

Explanation:

We'll check by plugging in t = 3 and p has to equal 15

p = 5t ✅

p = 5(3)

p = 15

3t = 15p ❌

3(3) = 15p

9 = 15p

p = 15/9 = 5/3

p/t = 15 ❌

p/3 = 15

p = 45

p = 1/5t ❌

p = 1/5(3)

p = 3/5

Answer 2

p divided by t = 15 divided by 3 =5 if you have to divide 15 by 3 to see how many pizza´s can be made in 1 hour.
15 pizza's represents p and 3 hours represents t then it will be p divided by t.
