Question

Mrs.suarez cut a pizza into 8 equal slices.each person in her family ate 2 slices .if there are 3 people in her family,what fraction of pizza did they eat together?

Answer 1

3 Family members, each ate 2 slices. 3 × 2 = 6 total slices eaten.
Amount of pizza eaten =
`(SlicesEaten)/(originalAmount)`
Amount of pizza eaten =
`(6)/(8)` =
`(3)/(4)`

So, the family ate
`(3)/(4)` slices in total.

Answer 2

If there are 3 people in the family and each ate 2 slices. 6 slices were eaten in total.

To find the ammount of pizza eaten, divide the total slices eaten (6) over the original ammount of slices (8)

Eaten ammount = 6/8 = 3/4
