Answer 1

Each person would get
`(5)/(8)` pizza.

Solution:

Total quantity of pizza =
`1(7)/(8)`

Number of persons shared = 3

To find how much pizza would each person get:

Let us first convert improper fraction into mixed fraction.

`$1(7)/(8)=(1*8 + 7)/(8)=(15)/(8)`

Now divide the total quantity of pizza by the number persons shared.

`$\text{Quantity of pizza each person get}=(((15)/(8)) )/(3)`

`$=(15)/(8*3)`

`$=(15)/(24)`

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3.

`$=(15/3)/(24/3)`

`$=(5)/(8)`

Quantity of pizza each person get =
`(5)/(8)`

Hence each person would get
`(5)/(8)` pizza.
