Mrs Smith is having a party . She has 24 students . She estimates each student will eat 3/8.How many pizzas should Mrs. Smith order?
24 * 3/8 = ?
24 * (3/8) = 72/8 = 9
Poor Mrs. Smith doesn't get any pizza unless she orders one more pizza.
To calculate the number of pizzas Mrs. Smith should order, we need to multiply the total number of students by the amount each student will eat. Here's how you can do it:
1. Multiply the total number of students (24) by the amount each student will eat (3/8):
24 * 3/8 = (24/1) * (3/8) = 72/8 = 9.
Mrs. Smith should order 9 pizzas for the party.
