Question

Gregg made 12 pounds of pizza dough
for his restaurant. He cut the dough into
sections that each weighed 3 pounds. How
many sections of dough did he cut?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 4 sections

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

• 12 pounds of pizza dough has been made
• 1 section = 3 pounds

Solution:

• 1 section = 3 pounds
• => x sections = 3x pounds = 12 pounds
• => x = 4
• => 1 x 4 sections = 3 x 4 pounds
• => 4 sections = 12 pounds

Hence, Gregg cut 4 sections of pizza dough.
