Ben has 8 1/2. Pizzas to serve. How many pizza 1/4 pizza sized serving does he have??
8 1/2 = 17/2
(17/2) / (1/4)
(17/2) * (4/1) - 68/2 = 34 pieces
To determine how many 1/4 pizza-sized servings Ben has, we need to divide the total number of pizzas he has by the fraction size of each serving.
Ben has 8 1/2 pizzas, which we can convert to a mixed number as 8 + 1/2 = 8.5.
Now, let's divide 8.5 by 1/4:
8.5 ÷ 1/4 = 8.5 × 4/1
To multiply the fractions, we multiply the numerators (8.5 × 4 = 34) and multiply the denominators (1 × 1 = 1):
8.5 × 4/1 = 34/1
So, Ben has 34 servings of 1/4 pizza-sized servings.
