Mrs. Hilt has 6 pizzas. Each pizza has 6 slices. She sold one-fourth (1⁄4) of the pizza slices. How many slices were left?

So do I do 6 x 6 = 36 slices. 36 x 1 ÷ 4 = 9 slices. She has 36 - 9 = 27
Is that true?

Yes, it is true. However, online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.

36 * 1/4 = 9

Yes, that is correct!

First, you need to calculate the total number of pizza slices. Mrs. Hilt has 6 pizzas and each pizza has 6 slices, so 6 x 6 = 36 slices in total.

Next, you need to determine how many slices she sold, which is one-fourth (1⁄4) of the total. To find this, you divide the total number of slices by 4, so 36 x 1 ÷ 4 = 9 slices.

Finally, to find out how many slices are left, you subtract the number of slices sold from the total. Therefore, 36 - 9 = 27 slices are left.

To determine the number of pizza slices Mrs. Hilt had initially, we can indeed multiply the number of pizzas (6) by the number of slices per pizza (6). So, 6 x 6 = 36 slices.

To find out how many slices were sold, we need to calculate one-fourth (1⁄4) of the total number of slices. We can do this by multiplying the total number of slices (36) by 1⁄4. So, 36 x 1⁄4 = 9 slices.

To find out the number of slices that were left, we subtract the number of slices sold (9) from the total number of slices (36). So, 36 - 9 = 27 slices.

Therefore, there were 27 slices left after Mrs. Hilt sold one-fourth (1⁄4) of the pizza slices. Your calculation is correct!
