Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the total weight of dough by the amount required for 1 pizza
20 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ÷ 1 [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ( change mixed numbers to improper fractions )
= [tex]\frac{81}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex]
• leave first fraction , change ÷ to × , turn second fraction ' upside down '
= [tex]\frac{81}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] ( cancel 81 and 9 by 9 )
= [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] × 8 ( cancel 4 and 8 by 4 )
= 9 × 2
= 18 pizza's
