Answer 1

Given:

Aisha has 3 pizzas.

She is serving each person at a party 1/4 of a pizza.

To find:

The number of people she can serve at the party.

Solution:

Let the number of people be x.

Number of pizzas is 3. So, each person get
`(3)/(x)` part of pizza.

It is given that each person get 1/4 of a pizza.

`(1)/(4)=(3)/(x)`

Using cross multiplication, we get

`1* x=3* 4`

`x=12`

Therefore, the number of persons in 12.

Now, divide the number line in four equal parts between each pair of consecutive integers.

Then, count the marked points from 0 to 3 excluding 0. These points represent number of persons.
