Ana is having 9 friends over for a party.She wants each of her friends to have 1/4 of a pizza. How many pizzas should she order?
9 friends
each friend eats 1/4 of a pizza
so 1 whole pizza feeds 4 friends.
4+4 = 8
so 2 whole pizzas feed 8 friends
their is one friend still pizza-less :'(
so add 1/4 more!
so we are at 2 1/4 pizzas (needed) , but pizza companies dont sell 1/4 pizzas, so add another one of them hoes to the order!
so in total we need 3 whole pizzas to feed 9 friends!
