EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Leo ---> 5 1/2 pizzas

He wants to divide by 2

Representing 5 1/2 as a fractional number:

5 1/2 = 11/2

So, dividing both numbers give us:


((11)/(2))/(2)=(11)/(2\cdot2)=(11)/(4)

Now, turning 11/4 as a mixed number:

11/4 = 2 3/4

So, each person will get 2 and 3/4 pizzas.
