Question

Arnold’s Pizzeria sells their pizzas “by fraction”. You can buy 1/6 of a pizza for $2.75, 2/5 of a pizza for for $6, 1/2 of a pizza for $8, or 2/3 of a pizza for $12. Which of these offers the best deal?

Answer 1

Answer: The best deal is 1/2 a pizza for $8.

Step-by-step explanation:

-First you take all of the fractions, find the greatest common denomenator and make all of the denomenators the same

- I found that all the denomenators went into 30 so I multiplied them by what they needed to be 30

1/5 x 6 = 6/30 2/5 x 6 = 12/30 1/2 x 15 = 15/30 2/3 x 10 = 10/30

-By doing this you can see you get the most slices for $8
