Question

Seven pizzas are shared equally between three friends. What fraction of pizza does each friend get? Write your answer as a mixed fraction.

Answer 1

each person would get a fair share of 2 1/3 pieces...

Explanation:

7 divided by 3 = 2.333333333 (it goes on) but you round it down to just 2

so then that means that 3x2=6

(youre left with 1)

just put these figures together to make 2 1/3

i hope this helps...

Answer 2

Seven pizzas: 7 pizzas

Shared between 3 friends: 7 pizzas / 3 friends

Simplify the fraction:

7 / 3

(3 goes into 7 twice, 7 - 6 = 1)

2 1/3

The fraction of pizza that each friend gets is 2 1/3.

Hope this helps!! :)
