A class of 30 students ate 9 pizzas. How many pizzas would be needed for 40 students?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 9:30

So for 40 people , it would be ?:40

Find the number that, when multiplies, by 30, equals 40. This is 1 1/3, or 1.3333... So multiply 9 by 1 1/3: 9 * 1 = 9, 1/3 * 9 = 3. ( + 3 = 12, so 12 pizzas

12 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
