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.
