Answer:

Each brother of maria will receive 7/30 of the whole pizza

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the amount of pizza that Maria gave to her brothers

For this we have to subtract the 3/10 that was eaten from 1

1 can also be written as 10/10

1 = 10/10

10/10 - 3/10 = 7/10

Maria gave her brothers 7/10 of the pizza

If your brothers were 3 and received the same amount, to know how much each one received we have to divide 7/10 by 3

(7/10) /3 = 7/30

Each brother of maria will receive 7/30 of the whole pizza
