to come. How much pizza should you order? (Hint: Multiply how
much you think each person will eat by the number of people
coming.)

Since you cannot buy 2 a pizza, you will purchase 8 pizzas.
As the party draws to an end, you realize that your guests did not

eat as much pizza as you thought they would. There are 2 pizzas

leftover that were originally cut into 8 slices each. You want to
send the remaining 10 people at the party home with the same
amount of leftovers. What fraction of a whole pizza will each
guest take home with them? (Hint: Convert the mixed number
(leftover pizza) into an improper fraction to solve for how much
each person took home. Then divide by the number of guests
taking leftovers home.)
(Fraction of pizza each guest takes home) Answer:
