Question

One slice of cheese pizza contains 310 calories. A medium-size orange has one-fifth that number of calories. How many calories are in a medium-size orange? -Please help me understand!

Answer 1

The medium sized orange would have 62 calories. To divide by 1/5, which in decimal form is 0.2, you just multiply 310 by 0.2, therefore, giving you 62. Hope this helps! 

Answer 2

We must divide the number of calories in the pizza by five to find out how many calories are in the medium-size orange.

310 / 5 = 62

There are 62 calories.
