3.Mariah's table seats 4 students. each student ate 2 slices of a large pizza. what fraction of a pizza was eaten at Mariah's table






​

Answer 1

How many pice of pizza is there

Answer 2

If she ate 2 out of 6 pieces that is 1/3 because six can be broken up into 3 equal parts of 2 slices each.

Explanation:

2/6 divide the top (numerator) and the bottom (denominator) by 2.

2 goes into 2 one time so the number at the top of the fraction becomes 1.

2 goes into 6 three times so the number at the bottom becomes 3.

That is how you get 1/3rd. She ate 1/3rd of the pizza.

1. How many fractions did she eat? What does that mean? She didn't eat fractions. She ate pizza. Check the question again.

2. He is wrong. She ate 1/3rd of the pizza.

3. It never tells you how many slices the pizza was cut into. If the pizza was cut into 8 slices then they ate 8/8 pieces which is 1/1 which is 1.
