We were ordering pizza for eight students. Each student should have at least two slices. Each pizza is cut into five slices. What is the minimum number of pizzas we should order(we can only order whole pizza)?

The minimum number of pizzas we should order is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Eight students.

Each student should have at least two slices.

Each pizza has five slices.

Minimum number of slices:

8 students, each with at least 2 slices. 8*2 = 16.

So the minimum number of slices is 16.

Each pizza is cut into five slices.

So one pizza has ive slices, how many pizzas for 16 slices.

1 pizza - 5 slices

x pizza - 16 slices

5x = 16

x = 16/5

x = 3.2

We can only order whole pizza. If we round down, some student will have less than two slices. So we round up.

The minimum number of pizzas we should order is 4.

the answer is ! ?
