Question

5 men can eat 10 slices of pizza. How many slices can 13 men eat?

• A. 20
• B. 26
• C. 18
• D. 22

Answer 1

The correct option is B 26

Given, 5 men can 10 slices slices of pizza.
Hence, the ratio of the number of men to the number of slices they can eat = 5 : 10 ...(i)

Let 13 men eat 'c' slices of pizza.
Hence, ratio = 13 : c ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get,
5 : 10 = 13 : c
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{10}=\frac{13}{c}$
$\Rightarrow c=\frac{13\times 10}{5}$
$\Rightarrow c=26$
