Explanation:

It is given that,

Jason has 4/18 pounds of cheese available and he needs 3/8 pounds of cheese to make a pizza.

Let he can make x pizzas. It can be calculated by dividing 4/18 by 3/8 such that,


x=(4/18)/(3/8)\\\\=(4)/(18)* (8)/(3)\\\\=0.592

or

x = 0.6

So, he can make 0.6 part of the pizza.
