Answer:
10 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
Jaxson is throwing a pizza party. He has 1\tfrac{1}{4}1 4 1 pounds of cheese available and he needs \tfrac{1}{8} 8 1 pound of cheese to make each pizza. How many pizzas can he make?
We can interprete the above question as:
1/8 pounds of cheese = 1 pizza
1 1/4 pounds of cheese = x pizzas
Cross Multiply
1/8 × x = 1 1/4 × 1
x = 1 1/4 ÷ 1/8
x = 5/4 ÷ 1/8
x = 5/4 × 8/1
x = 10 pizzas
x = 10 pizzas
