Answer:

8 pizzas

Explanation:

If each of the 20 people eats 3/8 of pizza, to calculate the total number of pizzas needed, multiply 20 by 3/8 and round up to the nearest whole number.


\sf total \ number \ of \ pizzas=20 *\frac38


=\frac{20 *3}8


=\frac{60}8


=\frac{15}2


=7.5

Therefore, he should buy 8 pizzas for the party.
