Cathy is planning a party. She decides to serve pizza. She estimates that she will need 12 pizzas with 8 slices each. If each person eats 3 pieces, how many people can she serve?
Thx

so she will have 12 x 8 slices or 96 slices of pizza
What is 96 ÷ 3 ???
To find out how many people Cathy can serve, we need to calculate the number of pizza slices in total and then divide that number by the number of pizza slices each person will eat.
Cathy estimates that she will need 12 pizzas with 8 slices each, so the total number of pizza slices is 12 x 8 = 96.
Since each person eats 3 pizza slices, we divide the total number of pizza slices (96) by the number of slices each person eats (3) to find out how many people can be served.
96 ÷ 3 = 32
Therefore, Cathy can serve 32 people at her party. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
