Question

The chef prepared 9 pizzas each for 7 visitors. The pizzas are to be equally divided into 3 serving plates. How many pizzas need to be placed on each serving plate?

• A. 20
• B. 21
• C. 22
• D. 23

Answer 1

The correct option is B 21

Number of pizzas = 9
Total visitors = 7

∴ Number of pizzas prepared by the chef = 9 $\times$ 7 = 63

Now, 63 pizzas are to be equally divided into 3 serving plates.

Let us divide 63 by 3 through place value.

So, at first, we write the expanded form of the dividend 63.


Let's divide each of these places with the divisor 3.


After division by place value, we add all the partial quotients to get the final answer.


Here, the final quotient is 21.


Hence, 21 pizzas need to be placed on each serving plate.
