One teacher wants to give each students 5/9of a slice of pizza. If the teacher has 15 slices of pizza,then how many students will she be able to hand out pizza to?
To find the answer to this, you need to divide the 15 slices of pizza by 5/9. 15/(5/9) is 15*9/5 (multiply both the top and the bottom by 9 and you cancel out the 9 in the 5/9 fraction) and you get 135/5 = 27
