Answer:
The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza
Explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- When we have a quantity we can divided it to many equivalent
fractions
- Equivalent fractions means fractions equal each other
- We can find the equivalent fraction by multiply or divide the two
terms of the fraction by the same number
- Ex: We can divide a circle into two equal parts each part is 1/2 the
circle, if we multiply each term of the fraction by 2 (up and down)
then we will have 2/4 which is equivalent to 1/2 the circle
- Then we can divide the circle by 2 parts with many equivalent fractions
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = ..................
* Lets solve the problem
- Rafael wanted to order half a medium pizza
- The medium pizza could be cut into 6 or 8 slices
∵ The half of 6 is 3/6
∵ The half of 8 is 4/8
- Lets simplify the two fraction
∵ 3/6 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 3
∵ 4/8 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 4
∴ There is no difference between the two orders, both of them
equal half the pizza
∴ The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza
