Question

Claire can eat 3/4 of a pizza every 5 minutes. How much of a pizza can she eat in 1 minute?

Answer 1

3/20

Explanation:

If she can do 3/4 per 5 minutes, the amount in 1 minute is 1 fifth of 3/4, so multiply 3/4 by 1/5 to get 3/20.

Answer 2

3/20 of the pizza

Explanation:

To find how much she eats in one minute, you have to change the fraction into a decimal, which is 0.75, and divide that by 5. Once you've done that, you get 0.15 of the pizza in a minute. this can be simplified into the fraction 3/20.
