Last Week’s answer to Problem of the week:

A) If each student in the class gets 2 pieces of pizza, then we will need to order:

28 students _ 2 slices = 56 slices of pizza

 Since the pizzas are divided into 6 slices each, we notice

 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 54 or 6 _ 9 = 54    and

 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 60 or 6 _ 10 = 60.

Therefore, the school will need to order 10 pizzas so that the 28 students can have 2 slices of pizza each.

B) If there are 60 pieces in 10 pizzas and giving each student 2 pieces of pizza means that 56 pieces are eaten, then the number of pieces left over is: 60 - 56 = 4.

Therefore, there would be 4 slices of pizza left over.
