There are 3 pizzas. Each child will get 1/4 of a pizza. How many children will get pizza?

3 * 4 = ?

this is easy: each child will get 12 pieces.

12

3x 1/4 equal 3/4

To find out how many children will get pizza, we need to divide the total number of pizzas by the fraction of pizza each child will receive.

Given that there are 3 pizzas, and each child will get 1/4 of a pizza, we can calculate the number of children as follows:

3 pizzas ÷ 1/4 pizza per child

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal (flipping it upside down). So, we have:

3 pizzas × 4/1 pizza per child

Multiplying the numerators and the denominators, we get:

(3 × 4) pizzas ÷ 1

This simplifies to:

12 pizzas ÷ 1

Dividing any number by 1 gives us the same number, so:

12 pizzas

Therefore, 12 children will get pizza.
