Question

Teagan believes she can use a division expression to find the amount of pizza each of 6 friends will eat if they share 4/5 of a pizza. Which statement best explains why Teagan is correct or incorrect?

Answer 1

Answer: sorry i meant 7.5 would be incorrect

Step-by-step explanation: she wouldn't be able to do it if it goes over 6 so that is incorrect

Answer 2

Teagan is correct.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Number of friends = 6

Pizza eaten by all friends =
`(4)/(5)`

Now, in order to find pizza eaten by each friend, Teagan need to divide pizza eaten by total number of friends.

Formula:

`\text{Pizza eaten by each friend} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Total pizza eaten}}{\text{Number of friends sharing the pizza}}\\\\= \displaystyle((4)/(5))/(6) = \displasystyle(4)/(30) = \displaystyle(2)/(15)`

Thus, each friend had
`(2)/(15)` of a pizza.
