You are hosting a pizza party with 55 people. There are 15 men, 15 women, 10 teenage boys, and the rest are teenage girls. You have figured that each grown man will eat 1/9 of a pizza, each grown woman will eat 1/12 of a pizza, each teenage boy will eat 1/6 of a pizza, and each teenage girl will eat 1/18 of a pizza.
How many slices of the advertised pizza will each grown man, grown woman, teenage boy, and teenage girl eat? Show your work. (15 points) Then state how many pieces each group of people will eat. (5 points)
thanks if you help.
