Question

HELP PLEASE

Celia, Darryl and Emily ate an entire pie. Darryl ate twice as much as Celia. Emily ate three times as much as Celia. What fraction of the pie did Celia eat?​

Answer 1

she ate 3/20 of the pie

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say there are 10 slices. Of she ate 1 slice, then darryl ate 2, then Emily ate 3. That is only 5 total slices.So what if she ate 2? Darryl ate 4, Emily ate 6. That still doesn't workBut if she ate 1.5 slices, then darryl ate 3, then Emily ate 5.5 1.5+5.5=7 7+3=10 so she ate 1.5 slices out of ten. But 1.5/10 cant be a fraction, so you can make it 15/100 and then simplify it 3/20. :)

Answer 2

she ate 3/20 of the pie

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say there are 10 slices.

if she ate 1 slice, then darryl ate 2, then Emily ate 3. That is only 5 total slices.

So what if she ate 2? Darryl ate 4, Emily ate 6. That still doesn't work

But if she ate 1.5 slices, then darryl ate 3, then Emily ate 5.5

1.5+5.5=7

7+3=10

so she ate 1.5 slices out of ten. But 1.5/10 cant be a fraction, so you can make it 15/100 and then simplify it 3/20. :)
