Question

You have 2/3 of a pizza. You divide the remaining pizza into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the pizza is each piece?

Answer 1

1/4? I feel like this is a trick question

Answer 2

Hi there!

Keep in mind that when you divide by a number, you are actually multiplying by its reciprocal.

The reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.

2/3 * 1/4 = 2/12

2/12, when simplified, is equal to 1/6.

So each remaining slice is equal to 1/6.

Hope this helps.
