Final answer:

You ate a total of 1/2 of a pizza after consuming 3/8 of your own pizza and 1/8 of your friend's pizza, as you combine the two fractions to get the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much pizza you eat after having 3/8 of your own pizza and 1/8 of your friend's pizza, you simply need to add these fractions together because both pizzas are the same size.

Addition of fractions:

  • You ate 3/8 of your pizza.
  • You also ate 1/8 of your friend's pizza.

So, the total pizza you ate is 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2. That means you have consumed half of a pizza in total.

If we consider a visual example, picture a pizza cut into 8 slices. You've eaten 3 slices of your own and 1 slice of your friend's, which adds up to 4 slices which is the same as half the pizza, assuming both pizzas were cut into 8 equal slices.

Answer: half a pizza pie or 4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

because both pies have 8 slices and you had 3 slices of your own pie and 1 slice of your friends pie so when you had up 1/8 + 3/8 you get 4/8 or 1/2
