Question

I need help with this problem!!!

Aaron, Glen, James and Matt stop for pizza. A whole pizza is divided into four equal pieces and cost 70 cents a slice. Aaron says he will eat one-half of a pizza. Glen says she will eat one-fourth of a pizza. James says he will eat three-fourths of a pizza. How many whole pizzas do the boys order and how much does the pizza cost? Show all your mathematical thinking.

Answer 1

Aaron ate 1/2 of a pizza which is $1.40
Glen ate 1/4 of a pizza which is $0.70
James ate 3/4 of a pizza which is $2.10

So altogether they ate 1 1/2 pizzas with the cost of $4.20
