Mr. Chase is having a party for his teachers. If the pizzeria cuts their pies into eight slices and each teacher is eating 1/8 of the pizza, how many pies will Mr. Chase need to feed 47 teachers?​

6 pies.

If 8 teachers finish one whole pie, and they need to feed 47, then they need 6 pies with 8 slices each aka 48 slices total, there will be one slice leftover for the principal :D
