Answer: (C) Victoria has six sevenths of a pizza. She ate one fourth of it for dinner. How much pizza did Victoria eat for dinner?

Step-by-step explanation: One clue is "of" in the story and which matches "times" in the equation sentence. The question is is about multiplication.

Words such as "more" "and" & "total" are usually clues that the question is about addition. "Give" "take" "difference" & "have/are left" are clues that there is subtraction in the process.
