Question

A pizza is to be cut into thirds. Each of these thirds is to be cut into sixths. What fraction of the pizza is each of the final pieces

Answer 1

1/18

Explanation:

The pizza is 1 piece

1 divided by 3 = 1/3

1/3 divided by 6 = 1/18

this is because dividing by a whole number is the same thing as multiplying by its reciprocal

therefore the final piece is 1/18 of the original pizza
