Question

if you ate 5 out of the 20 slices of pizza , how many slices of pizza would you eat if there are 120 slices of pizza?

Answer 1

30. Use the butterfly method or kust cross multiply:)

Answer 2

30 slices

Explanation:

Make a proportion

You ate 5 out 20 slices, and x out of 120 slices

5/20=x/120

Multiply both sides by 120 to get x by itself

120(5/20)=(x/120)120

The 120s on the right will cancel out, and we are left with

30=x

So, you would eat 30 slices of pizza out of 120 slices
