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!

Respuesta :

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! 
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.
