Warm-up – Day 1
Mrs. Matchett 4th period class earned a pizza party because EVERYONE passed the TAKS
test. There are 15 students in her class. She wants everyone (including herself) to get an
equal amount of pizza. Since there is a zero tolerance rule for knives at her school, she
can’t cut the pizza herself, she just has to use the pieces that Double Dave’s provides – 8
slices per pizza.
How many pizzas should Mrs. Matchett order so that everyone gets ¼ of a pizza?
