Question

Lillian wants to give 1/3 of a pizza to each of six girls at her party

Answer 1

`Fraction = (1)/(18)`

Explanation:

Given

`Pizza = (1)/(3)`

`Girls = 6`

Required [Missing Information]

Determine the fraction each girl gets

To do this, we simply divide the pizza by the number of girls i.e.

`Fraction = (Pizza)/(Girls)`

`Fraction = (1)/(3) / 6`

Change / to *

`Fraction = (1)/(3) *(1)/(6)`

`Fraction = (1)/(18)`

Hence, each girl gets 1/18
