Hi there...
If there are "126" students on the 6th grade team, and they are planing a party.
Where each student will have two slices of pizza.
That means that they need at least "252" slices of pizza.
If each pizza provides "8" slices each, the following equation will give you the answer.
((126*2)/8)=31.5
That means they roughly need "32" pizzas.
Kind regards

See how things 'canel out' and you are left with only 'pizzas' ?
THAT is often the easy way to 'figure' these types of problems !
