The pizza slices served at Connors pizza palace are1/4 off a whole pizza. There are 3 pizzaso ready to be served.14 children come in for lunch is there enough pizza for every child?
if 1 pizza has 4 slices, how many slices do 3 pizzas have? is that number greater than or equal to 14?
To find out if there is enough pizza for every child, we need to calculate the total number of pizza slices available and compare it to the number of children.
Given that each whole pizza has 4 equal slices, and each serving pizza is 1/4 off a whole pizza, that means each serving pizza has 1 slice.
So, if there are three serving pizzas, we can calculate the total number of slices by multiplying the number of serving pizzas (3) by the number of slices per serving pizza (1), which gives us a total of 3 slices.
Now, we need to compare the total number of pizza slices (3) to the number of children (14) to see if there is enough pizza for everyone.
Since there are 3 pizza slices and 14 children, we can divide the number of slices by the number of children: 3 slices ÷ 14 children = 0.214 (rounded to three decimal places).
As a result, each child will get approximately 0.214 slices of pizza. Since it's not possible to have a fraction of a slice, we can conclude that there is not enough pizza for each child, and some children will have to share slices or there won't be enough for everyone.
