Paul has 3 pizzas. Each pizzas has 8 slices. Paul shares his pizzas with 4 of his friends. How many slices of pizza will be left if each person eats the same number of pieces? It would be 4 left
24 total pieces. 5 people total. 24=5x x=4.8 round down to 4 because you would be over 24 if rounded up so yes 4 pieces left
the question is poorly worded.
What if each person only eats 2 pieces?
To find out how many slices of pizza will be left, we need to first calculate the total number of slices of pizza that Paul has.
Paul has 3 pizzas, and each pizza has 8 slices. To find the total number of slices, we can multiply the number of pizzas by the number of slices per pizza:
3 pizzas * 8 slices per pizza = 24 slices of pizza
Now, since Paul shares his pizza with 4 of his friends, we need to divide the total number of slices by the number of people (including Paul) to find out how many slices each person will eat:
24 slices / 5 people = 4.8 slices per person
However, since we cannot have a fraction of a slice, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Each person will eat 4 slices of pizza.
Now, to find out how many slices will be left, we can subtract the total number of slices eaten by all the people from the initial total number of slices:
24 slices - (4 slices per person * 5 people) = 24 slices - 20 slices = 4 slices
Therefore, if each person eats the same number of pieces, there will be 4 slices of pizza left.
To find out how many slices of pizza will be left, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total number of slices of pizza: Since each pizza has 8 slices, and Paul has 3 pizzas, the total number of slices is 8*3 = 24 slices of pizza.
2. Determine the number of people sharing the pizza: In this case, Paul shares the pizza with 4 friends, so there are 4+1 = 5 people in total.
3. Divide the total number of slices by the number of people: Divide the 24 slices of pizza by 5 people. Each person will eat 24/5 = 4.8 slices of pizza.
4. Since you cannot have a fraction of a slice, each person will eat 4 slices of pizza, leaving 0.8 slices uneaten.
Therefore, there will be 24 - (4 * 5) = 24 - 20 = 4 slices of pizza left.
