Tilly had pizzas to share equally between 5 plates. How much pizza will Tilly put on each plate?

A student solved the problem this way:

Let n represent the amount of pizza on each plate.

n = 3 1/3 divided by 5

n = 10/3 divided by 5/1

n = 10/3 x 1/5

n = 2/3

A. pizzas 1 15/16

because you have more than 4 pizzas to fill your 4 boxes. You have 7.75 pizzas in total which you could divide by 4 to 1.93, the equivalent of 1 15/16
