Your answer would be 2 and 1/4 because when you divide 9 and 4 you get that.

Answer:

4/9th fraction of pizza each boy will get.

Explanation:

It is given that there are 4 pizzas to be distributed equally among 9 boys.

So by unitary method we can calculate the fraction of pizza each boy will get.

∵ 9 boys get the pizza = 4

∴ 1 boy gets the pizza = 4/9

Therefore we can say that each boy gets 4/9th part of the pizza which is the final answer.
