A.Suppose I cut pizza A into 4 equal pieces, and pizza B into 6 equal pieces.I take a pieces from pizza A and b pieces from pizza

B.Write, in lowest terms, the fraction of a whole pizza that I have taken.

Answer 1

Sure! Let's calculate the fraction of a whole pizza that you have taken. You took 1 piece from pizza A and 2 pieces from pizza B.

To find the fraction, we need to add the number of pieces you took from both pizzas: 1 + 2 = 3.

Now, let's consider the total number of pieces in both pizzas. Pizza A was cut into 4 equal pieces and pizza B was cut into 6 equal pieces. So, the total number of pieces is 4 + 6 = 10.

Therefore, the fraction of a whole pizza that you have taken is 3/10.
