Answer 1

B) Greg cut the large pizza into ten slices, and ate four of them before going to bed.

Explanation:

4/10 of the pizza is equivalent to 2/5

Answer 2

The answer is B) Greg cut the large pizza into ten slices, and ate four of them before going to bed.

Let's look into it one by one:

A) As Sandy prepared for her dinner party, she set two tables with five chairs each.

The fraction in this case would be: 2/5×2 =1/5.
And therefore this is false.

B) Greg cut the large pizza into ten slices, and ate four of them before going to bed.

The fraction in this case would be: 4/10 =2/5.
And therefore this is correct.

C) For each braided bracelet she made for fifteen classmates, Mallory added six beads.

Fraction is not suitable in this case and therefore this is false.

D) Kristi cut two cakes into five slices each and gave half of the slices to friends at work.

The fraction in this case would be: 5/5×2 =1/2.
And therefore this is correct.

Therefore the answer is B.
