Question

A pizza has 6 pieces. How many such pizzas do you need to feed 12 people if each of them eats 3 pieces?

• A. Six Pizzas
• B. 12 Pizzas
• C. 10 Pizzas
• D. Nine Pizzas

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Six Pizzas

To find the required number of pieces of pizza, we should find the L.C.M of 6 and 36.

L.C.M of 6 and 36 = 2 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 1 $\times$ 3 =36.

$\therefore$ Number of pieces of pizza required = 36

Given, Number of pieces in one pizza = 6

$\therefore$ Number of pizzas = $\frac{36}{6}$ = 6
