Question from Delaney, a parent: if 8 people eat 2/3 of a honey chicken pizza how many pizzas are need to feed 24? How is this problem solved. Thank you! |
Hi Delaney,
Since $24 = 3 \times 8$ you need to feed three times as many people so you will need three times as much pizza as the 8 people ate.
