3 x 5 pizzas = 15 pizzas
1/3 of pizzas  x  people  =  15 pizzas
people  = 15 pizzas / (1/3)  =  45

Answer: There are  45 party guests who will be served pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of pizzas usually prepare by the caterer = 5

Part of pizza will eat by each party guest is given by

[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

As we have given that a caterer prepares 3 times as many pizzas as she usually prepares for a large party,

Let the number of party guests be x

According to question, it becomes,

Number of party guests will get the pizza serve is given by
