To find out how many people can be served from 8 pizzas, we need to determine the number of people that can be served per pizza and then multiply it by the total number of pizzas.
In this case, each person is served 1/4 of a pizza. So, to find out how many people can be served from one pizza, we need to divide 1 by 1/4.
Dividing 1 by 1/4 is the same as multiplying 1 by its reciprocal, which gives us:
1 * (4/1) = 4
Therefore, one pizza can serve 4 people.
To find out how many people can be served from 8 pizzas, we multiply the number of people per pizza by the total number of pizzas:
8 * 4 = 32
Hence, 32 people can be served from 8 pizzas.
