Jamilla is throwing a small party she has 4 pizza and decides that everyone at her party should have a serving of 3/5 of a pizza jamilla says she has a 6 2/3 servings but Devon says she has 6 2/5 servings who is correct and how many slices does each person get
Number of pizzas = 4
Servings = 3/5
Servings that can be made = 4/(3/5) = 6.66666666
As 0.6 is recurring, this is equal to 1*0.666666666666, so as a fraction, this is 2/3.
Therefore she has 6 2/3 servings, so Jamilla is correct.

3/5 divided by 4 = 20/3
Jamilla: 6 2/3 = 20/3
Devon: 6 2/5 = 32/5
so Jamilla correct
How is Devon Not correct.

To find out who is correct, we need to compare the total number of servings of pizza according to Jamilla and Devon.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
Jamilla: 6 2/3 = (6 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 20/3
Devon: 6 2/5 = (6 * 5 + 2) / 5 = 32/5
Now we can compare the fractions:
Jamilla's servings = 20/3
Devon's servings = 32/5
To compare these fractions, we need to find the common denominator, which is 15.
Now, let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 15:
Jamilla's servings = (20/3) * (5/5) = 100/15
Devon's servings = (32/5) * (3/3) = 96/15
We can see that Jamilla has more servings of pizza, so she is correct.
Next, let's calculate how many slices each person will get:
To find out the number of slices each person will get, we need to divide the total servings by the amount each person should have, which is 3/5.
For Jamilla:
Number of slices each person will get = (100/15) / (3/5) = (100/15) * (5/3) = 500/45 = 11 1/9
For Devon:
Number of slices each person will get = (96/15) / (3/5) = (96/15) * (5/3) = 480/45 = 10 2/9
So, each person will get approximately 11 1/9 slices of pizza for Jamilla's calculation and 10 2/9 slices for Devon's calculation.
