Question

Sabrina and three friends share 2 3/4 pizzas. If they all ate the same amount, which expression could be one of the steps in determining how much pizza each person ate?

Answer 1

11/16

Explanation:

Because of math

Answer 2

The amount of pizza eaten by 1 person =
`(11)/(16)`

Explanation:

The total number of people sharing pizza = Sabrina and her 3 friends.

So, total 4 people are eating pizza.

Total amount of pizza eaten = 2 3/4 pizza

Solving the mixed fraction,we get:

`2(3)/(4)    = (4(2) + 3)/(4)   = (11)/(4)`

So, they four ate a total of
`(11)/(4)` Pizza.

Now, the amount of Pizza eaten by 1 friend =
`= \frac{\textrm{Total amount of Pizza eaten}}{\textrm{Total number of people}}`

`= ((11)/(4) )/(4)  = (11)/(4)  * (1)/(4)   = (11)/(16)`

So, the amount of pizza eaten by 1 person =
`(11)/(16)`
