How many 1/3 pieces can be made from 2 pizzas, we know it is 6 and it is arrived by dividing 2 by 1/3 or multiplying by its reciprocal 3/1.
Hence to find how many 3/10 pieces can be made from 12/15 pizza, we have to divide 12/15 by 3/10 or multiplying by its reciprocal 10/3, i.e.
12/15 times 10/3= 8/3 or 2 2/3
What does that mean? This means that while 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, 2/3of 3/10 i.e. 2/3Ă—3/10=2/10=1/5 or one-fifth of pizza will be left out.
So the answer is 2 three-tenths pieces can be made, and one-fifth pizza will be left out.
