Question

Six friend are sharing a pizza.the pizza is cut into eight equal slices.how many slices of pizza will each friend get if they share the pizza equally

Answer 1

They will each recieve
`1(1)/(3)` slices each

Here's why: Since there are 8 slices and 6 of them we already know that they will get one slice each, so we can go ahead and subtract the 6 from 8.

That leaves us with 2 slices remaining. So, if they are going to evenly divide the two slices amongst the 6 of them, to find out how much they will receive in addition to the 1 slice already, you need to divide 2 by 6.

2÷6=
`(1)/(3)`, so they will each receive the
`(1)/(3)` slice in addition to the 1 slice they already have.

So, you're answer would be
`1 (1)/(3)` slices of pizza per person
