The camp dining room has two tables. One that seats 10ppl & the other seats 8ppl. If 4pizzas are placed on the large table & 3 pizzas are placed on the small table. Will both tables recv the same amt of pizzas? How do you solve this equation?
To solve this equation, we need to determine if both tables will receive the same amount of pizzas.
First, let's find out how many pizzas each table will receive.
The large table can seat 10 people, and there are 4 pizzas placed on this table. So, if we divide the number of pizzas by the number of people the table can seat, we get 4 pizzas / 10 people = 0.4 pizzas per person.
Similarly, the small table can seat 8 people, and there are 3 pizzas placed on this table. So, if we divide the number of pizzas by the number of people the table can seat, we get 3 pizzas / 8 people = 0.375 pizzas per person.
From the calculations, we can see that the large table will receive 0.4 pizzas per person, and the small table will receive 0.375 pizzas per person.
Since 0.4 is greater than 0.375, the large table will receive slightly more pizzas per person, which means that the large table will receive more pizzas overall.
Therefore, the large table will have more pizzas than the small table.
