18) There are 30 students in the school band. \( \frac{1}{6} \) of the students play the trumpet. How many students play the trumpet? Use equivalent fractions to justify your answer. 19) Jack ate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of an extra large pizza. If the pizza was cut into 16 slices. how many slices did he eat? Use equivalent fractions to justify your answer. If the pizza cost \( \$ 22.00 \), and Jack wants to pay for the amount he ate, how much should he pay? 20) Mariah made a pan of brownies. She wants to be able to share it evenly with herself and three other people. What are three possible ways she could cut the brownies? How many brownies would each person get with each?

Step 1
- There are 30 students in the band. - \(\frac{1}{6}\) of the students play the trumpet. - Multiply the total number of students by \(\frac{1}{6}\): \[ 30 \times \frac{1}{6} = 5 \] So, 5 students play the trumpet. Show more…
