Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer 1

To find the cost per pizza at the Kennedy Middle School cafeteria, we need to divide the cost of 1 pizza by the fraction of a pizza that costs $3.

Since the fraction given is 1/6 of a pizza, we can express the cost of 1 pizza as 1 / (1/6). To divide by a fraction, we flip the fraction and multiply, so the cost per pizza is 1 * (6/1) = 6.

Therefore, the cost per pizza is $6.
