Papa Johns is baking a total of 72 pizzas Monday and Tuesday. Each pizza requires 1 2/3 bags of cheese. Monday he makes 1/2 of the total number of pizzas he needs. How many bags of cheese has he used?

60 bags of cheese was used

Step-by-step explanation:

Papa Johns is baking a total of 72 pizzas Monday and Tuesday. Each pizza requires 1 2/3 bags of cheese. Monday he makes 1/2 of the total number of pizzas he needs.

1/2 of the total number of pizzas that he needs is : 1/2 of 72 pizzas

= 36 pizzas

The number of bags of pizza that he needs is :

1 pizza = 1 2/3 bags of pizza

36 pizzas = x

Cross Multiply

x = 36 × 1 2/3 bags of cheese

x = 36 × 5/3 bags of cheese

x = 12 × 5 bags of cheese

x = 60 bags of cheese
