This time each child must get one fifth of a pizza. How many children can get slices from the pizza ?
With 1/5 for each child, 5 children. What happened last time?
To determine the number of children who can get slices from the pizza, we need to know the total number of slices in the pizza and divide it by the size of each child's portion.
Let's assume that the pizza is cut into X equal slices.
Each child will receive 1/5 of a pizza slice. To find the number of children who can get slices from the pizza, we divide the total number of slices by 1/5:
X ÷ (1/5) = X × (5/1) = 5X
Therefore, the number of children who can get slices from the pizza is 5 times the total number of slices.
To determine how many children can get slices from the pizza, we need to know the total number of slices in the pizza.
To find the total number of slices, we need to know the number of equal parts the pizza is divided into (denominator) and how many of those parts each child gets (numerator). In this case, each child gets one-fifth (1/5) of the pizza.
So, if we divide the pizza into fifths, it means that the total number of slices in the pizza is equivalent to the denominator. Since we don't know the total number of slices or the size of the pizza, we cannot determine the exact number of children who can have slices.
However, if you provide more information, such as the number of slices in the pizza or the total number of children, we can calculate the specific number.
