Answer:

a) photo

b)


(1)/(5) * (3)/(4) = (3)/(20)

each person will get 1/5 of the amount of pizza in the table.

the pizza in the table is 3/4 of the whole pizza.

then each person will get 1/5 of 3/4 of the whole pizza.

c)

if 3/4 of the pizza equals 12 slices, then 4/4 of the pizza (the whole pizza) will have 12 . 1 : 3/4 =16 slices


12 * (4)/(4) / (3)/(4) = 12 * 1 * (4)/(3) = (48)/(3) = 16
