Question

Mr,angelo sliced two pizzas into equal parts,what fraction greater than 1 names both pizzas

Answer 1

I really love pizza and would like to help you with this problem. So we have two pizzas. Maybe you like Neapolitan Pizzas, or Ham and Cheese Pizza, or Pepperoni Pizza, or Hawaiian Pizza. Anyway, no matter the type of pizza what is really important is that we can write the previous statement as follows:


`Number \ of \ pizzas=2`

Each pizza is sliced as shown in the figure below, so we can write the new number of pizzas as follows:


`Number \ of \ pizzas=(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)`

But the problem is asking for a fraction greater than 1 to name both pizzas, then:


`Number \ of \ pizzas=(4)/(2) \ or \ (2)/(1)`
