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.
