Kelly spends 5 hours making pizzas. Each pizza takes her 1/4 hour to make. When she is finished, all of the pizzas are shared equally among 6 families. How many pizzas does each family receive?
(4 * 5) / 6 = ______ for each family
5/24
To find out how many pizzas each family receives, we first need to calculate the total number of pizzas Kelly made. We know that Kelly spends 5 hours making pizzas, and each pizza takes her 1/4 hour to make.
Number of pizzas = Total time spent / Time to make one pizza
Number of pizzas = 5 hours / 1/4 hour
Number of pizzas = 5 hours * 4 pizzas/hour
Number of pizzas = 20 pizzas
Now, we can divide the total number of pizzas by the number of families to find out how many pizzas each family receives.
Number of pizzas per family = Total number of pizzas / Number of families
Number of pizzas per family = 20 pizzas / 6 families
Number of pizzas per family ≈ 3.33 pizzas
Since we cannot have fractional pizzas, each family will receive 3 pizzas.
To find the number of pizzas each family receives, we need to divide the total number of pizzas by the number of families.
First, we need to determine how many pizzas Kelly makes in total. We know that each pizza takes her 1/4 hour to make. Since Kelly spends 5 hours making pizzas, we can calculate the total number of pizzas as follows:
Total number of pizzas = Total time spent / Time per pizza
Total number of pizzas = 5 hours / (1/4 hours per pizza)
Total number of pizzas = 5 hours * (4/1) [multiplying by the reciprocal]
Total number of pizzas = 5 * 4
Total number of pizzas = 20 pizzas
Now, we can divide the total number of pizzas by the number of families to determine how many pizzas each family receives:
Number of pizzas per family = Total number of pizzas / Number of families
Number of pizzas per family = 20 pizzas / 6 families
Number of pizzas per family = 3.33 pizzas per family (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, each family will receive approximately 3 pizzas.
