seven people are at a party. Each person wants to eat 2/3 of a pizza. How many pizzas should be ordered.
solve using numbers and solve using a diagram.
I will use numbers only. You draw the diagram!!
Just multiply: 7 people x 2/3 =14 / 3 = 4 2/3 = 5 - pizzas - since you can't order 2/3 of a pizza!!.
5 - 4 2/3 = 1 / 3 of a pizza will be "leftover"!.
