Question

There is 3/4 of pizza leftover from the night before . how many 1/8 portions are there

Answer 1

you would convert 3/4 to 6/8 and find how many times 1/8 goes into it and you would get 6.

Answer 2

We want to know how many 1/8's are in 3/4, so we divide.


`\sf(3)/(4)/(1)/(8)`

Flip the 2nd fraction and multiply:


`\sf(3)/(4)*(8)/(1)`

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:


`\sf(3*8)/(4*1)\rightarrow(24)/(4)`

Divide:


`\boxed{\sf6}`
