noyoko is having pizza part two large pizzas feed 9 people how many more pizzas do heed need to fill up 36 guests

If two large pizzas feed 9 people, then each large pizza feeds:

\[
\frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \text{ people}.
\]

Now, for 36 guests, the number of pizzas needed is:

\[
\frac{36}{4.5} = 8 \text{ pizzas}.
\]

Since Noyoko already has 2 pizzas, he will need:

\[
8 - 2 = 6 \text{ more pizzas}.
\]

Thus, Noyoko needs **6 more pizzas** to feed 36 guests.

Here are 5 related questions to extend your understanding:
1. How would the number of pizzas change if each pizza feeds 5 people instead of 4.5?
2. If the number of people increases to 45, how many pizzas will Noyoko need in total?
3. What if Noyoko has 3 pizzas to begin with instead of 2?
4. If each guest eats only half as much, how many pizzas would be needed for 36 guests?
5. How would the answer change if the pizzas could only feed 8 people?

**Tip:** Always double-check the division and subtraction steps in word problems for clarity!

Find out how many pizzas Noyoko needs to feed 36 guests. If two pizzas feed 9 people, we calculate the total pizzas required and determine how many more are needed. This problem covers division and proportional reasoning, suitable for students in Grades 5-6.
