Question

A pizza that was ordered for a party was already cut into 6 slices. If each serving of pizza was

of a slice, how many servings of pizza were available?

Answer 1

I don't see the fraction in your problem — can you tell me what fraction of a slice each serving is?

Meanwhile, here's the general method: if each serving is a/b of a slice, then the number of servings from 6 slices is
6 ÷ (a/b) = 6 × (b/a) = 6b/a.

Examples:
- If each serving is 1/2 slice: 6 ÷ 1/2 = 12 servings.
- If each serving is 1/3 slice: 6 ÷ 1/3 = 18 servings.
- If each serving is 1/4 slice: 6 ÷ 1/4 = 24 servings.
