Answer:

Each employee took home 1/4 of pizza each.

Explanation:

1. Picture a pizza as being a full 100%.

2. Since each employee took home the same amount of pizza, you need to divide the pizza equally by 4. 100 ÷ 4 = 25 this also equals 25/100

3. To reduce the fraction 25/100, you have to find a number that both the numerator and denominator can be divided by.

4. In this scenario, 25/100 can both be divided by 25.

5. 25 ÷ 25 = 1 100 ÷ 25 = 4

6. Therefore the final answer is each employee took home 1/4 of the pizza.
