Solution (Question 3):
Part-a) 7/6:
- => 1/6 + 6/6
- => 1/6 + 1 = 1 1/6
Part-b) 8/3:
- => 2/3 + 3/3 + 3/3
- => 2/3 + 1 + 1
- => 2/3 + 2
- => 2 2/3
Part-c) 7/2:
- => 1/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2
- => 1/2 + 1 + 1 + 1
- => 1/2 + 3
- => 3 1/2
Part-d) 3/2:
- => 1/2 + 2/2
- => 1/2 + 1
- => 1 1/2
Part-e) 17/6:
- => 5/6 + 6/6 + 6/6
- => 5/6 + 1 + 1
- => 5/6 + 2
- => 2 5/6
Part-f) 10/3:
- => 1/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 + 3/3
- => 1/3 + 1 + 1 + 1
- => 1/3 + 3
- => 3 1/3
Solution (Question 4):
Note that:
- 1 pizza = 8 slices
- Total pizzas ordered: 4 pizzas
Part-a) How many slices of pizzas were there altogether?
Use the equation (1 pizza = 8 slices) to find out how many slices were there.
- => 1 pizza = 8 slices
- => 4 pizzas = 8 x 4 slices
- => 4 pizzas = 32 slices
32 slices of pizza were in total.
Part-b) How many pizzas were eaten? Express your answer as a mixed number.
Divide 27 by 8 to find out how many pizzas were eaten.
3 3/8 of pizza were eaten.
Part-c) How many pizzas were left over? Express your answer as a fraction.
Subtract the pizza eaten from the pizza ordered to find out how many pizzas were left.
- 4 - 3 3/8
- => 4 - 27/8
- => 32/8 - 27/8
- => 5/8
5/8 of pizza were left over.
