16. Micah has invited 23 friends to his house and is having pizza for dinner. If each pizza feeds 4 people, how many pizzas should he order? (A) 4 (B) 5 (C) 6 (D) 7 (E) 8

To determine how many pizzas Micah should order, we need to follow these steps: 1. **Identify the total number of people**: Micah has invited 23 friends, so the total number of people, including Micah, is: \[ \text{Total people} = 23 + 1 = 24 \] 2. **Determine how many people each pizza can feed**: Each pizza feeds 4 people. 3. **Calculate the number of pizzas needed**: To find out how many pizzas are required, we divide the total number of people by the number of people each pizza can feed: \[ \text{Number of pizzas} = \frac{\text{Total people}}{\text{People per pizza}} = \frac{24}{4} \] 4. **Perform the calculation**: \[ \text{Number of pizzas} = 6 \] Thus, Micah should order **6 pizzas**. The correct answer is (C) 6.
