Given:
Aisha has 3 pizzas.
She is serving each person at a party 1/4 of a pizza.
To find:
The number of people she can serve at the party.
Solution:
Let the number of people be x.
Number of pizzas is 3. So, each person get [tex]\dfrac{3}{x}[/tex] part of pizza.
It is given that each person get 1/4 of a pizza.
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{3}{x}[/tex]
Using cross multiplication, we get
[tex]1\times x=3\times 4[/tex]
[tex]x=12[/tex]
Therefore, the number of persons in 12.
Now, divide the number line in four equal parts between each pair of consecutive integers.
Then, count the marked points from 0 to 3 excluding 0. These points represent number of persons.
