To find out how many children will get pizza, you need to divide the total number of pizzas by the fraction of a pizza that each child will receive.
In this case, you have 3 pizzas and each child will get 1/4 of a pizza.
To divide the number of pizzas by the fraction, you can use the division operation.
3 pizzas ÷ 1/4 of a pizza
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1.

3 pizzas × 4/1 = 12/1 = 12
Therefore, 12 children will get pizza.
