Answer:

Explanation:

At the start, we have
(3)/(4), or 75%, of the pizza.

Each slice is split evenly with the remaining 75%.

So, each slice is
\frac{(3)/(4) }7} = (3)/(28) = 0.10714 of the pizza, or 10.714%

¾ of a pizza that is split into 7 slices = 3/28. 3/28th of the original pizza is represented. You could check your work by doing the inverse operation.
