Question

A pizza is to be cut into halves. Each of these halves is to be cut into fourths. What fraction of the pizza is each of thefinal pieces?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Fractions

We have 1/2

!/2 is to be cut in 1/4

1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

Answer 2

Given:

Each of these halves is to be cut into fourths.

So:.

A pizza is to be cut into halves

since half is represented by 1/2.

So each piece is now

`(1)/(2)\text{ of the original.}`

If each of these halves is to be cut into fourths, then the fraction of final pieces is:

`\begin{gathered} =(1)/(2)*(1)/(4) \\ =(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`
