Question

You are having a small party and the Pizza driver drops

off 5 Pizza's. They are all cut into eighths. You also
have 3 slices left over in your fridge from the night
before. Write how much pizza you have as an
improper fraction(Remember that an improper
fraction has the numerator larger than the
denominator)

Answer 1

`(43)/(8\\)`

Explanation:

Since there are 8 slices in each of the 5 boxes, we will multiply. 8 x 5 = 40

So there are 40 slices of pizza from the delivery. And because there are 3 extra slices from the night before in fridge, add those. 40 + 3 = 43.

8 will be the denominator because it is the common number of slices in a box of pizza, 43 will be the numerator to make the improper fraction.

So the amount of pizza as an improper fraction is
`(43)/(8\\)`

Answer 2

You have 43/8 pizza slices
