pls help me!! I cant remember this and I feel rly dumb.

40 students shared 5 pizzas evenly. How much pizza did each student receive? What fraction of a pizza did each student receive? Model and Explain.

Respuesta :

Answer: Each student gets 1/8 of a pizza

Let's say we had 1 pizza cut up into 8 slices. So this would mean 5 pizzas would get you 5*8 = 40 slices total.

Notice how 40 divided by 5 is equal to 8

You can also think of it as rows of blocks. If you had 5 rows, 8 slices per row, then you'd have 40 square slices in total. Each slice is 1/8 of a pizza.
