Answer 1

Answer:
`1\ \text{Pizza}\ \text{and}\ (5)/(16)\ \text{pizza}`

Explanation:

Given

Mr. Caldwell has 10 full pizzas and half of another one

he wants to distribute it in among 8 of his students

Total pizzas are
`10+(1)/(2)=(21)/(2)`

So, each student gets

`\Rightarrow ((21)/(2))/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow (21)/(16)\ \text{or}\ 1(5)/(16)`

that is 1 pizza and five-sixteenth part of a pizza.
