How many pizza's will we need?¶

If we are hungry each person will eat 3/8 of a pizza. X represents our class size.

x = 19

x * (3/8)

7.125

We need at least 7 pizza's if our assumption that each person will eat 3/8ths of a pizza is true.

But what if people aren't hungry and only eat 2/9 of each pizza? then we would need:

x * (2/9)

4.222222222222222

We would only need 4 to 5 pizzas. From this, I conclude, We need to determine a hunger scale before ordering any pizza.
