Question

emily soccor team can eat 10 1/2 pizzas in 7 minutes how many pizzas per minute can emilys soccor team eat

Answer 1

1 1/2

Explanation:

Make everything a whole number/decimal

10 1/2=10.5

7=7

Create a proportion

`(10.5)/(7)=(x)/(1)`

Cross multiply

10.5*1=10.5

7*x=7x

Divide the coefficient on both sides

7x÷7

10.5÷7

Solve

x=1.5
