Jim wants to give 4 friends 3/5 of pizza how many pizzas will he need
To find out how many pizzas Jim will need to give 4 friends 3/5 of a pizza each, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total number of pizza slices needed.
- Since there are 4 friends, each friend will need 3/5 of a pizza.
- To calculate the total number of pizza slices needed, multiply the number of friends by the fraction representing the amount each friend needs: 4 friends × 3/5 = 12/5.
Step 2: Convert the fraction to a whole number of pizza slices.
- We have calculated that 4 friends will need 12/5 of a pizza. To express this as a whole number, we need to convert the fraction to a mixed number or whole number.
- Since there are 5 slices in one whole pizza, we can divide the numerator by the denominator: 12 divided by 5 = 2 remainder 2.
- The result means that 12/5 can be expressed as 2 whole pizzas plus 2/5 of a pizza.
Step 3: Determine the final answer.
- Based on the calculations above, Jim will need 2 whole pizzas to give 4 friends 3/5 of a pizza each.
Therefore, Jim will need 2 pizzas.
4 * (3/5) = 12/5 = 2 2/5
If he gets 3 pizzas, Jim will have 3/5 of a pizza for himself.
If you have 2/3 of a cupcake and you want someone else to have a cupcake. How much of a cupcake would they get
looks like 3/5 to me
oh, you mean 3/5 each? Then that would of course be
4 * 3/5 = 12/5
