Question

two teachers each buy pizzas for a party all of the pizzas are the same teacher A pizzas were cut into 6 equal slices teacher B pizzas were cut into 8 equal slices which teachers pizzas wete cut into larger slices use what you know about fractions to explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Pizzas teacher A were cut into larger slices

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Let

x-----> the total area of one pizza

we know that

Teacher A

Pizzas were cut into 6 equal slices

so

The area of each slice is $\frac{1}{6}x$

Teacher B

Pizzas were cut into 8 equal slices

so

The area of each slice is $\frac{1}{8}x$

step 2

The area of the slice teacher A multiply by 4/4

$\frac{1*4}{6*4}x=\frac{4}{24}x$

The area of the slice teacher B multiply by 3/3

$\frac{1*3}{8*3}x=\frac{3}{24}x$

step 3

Compare the fractions

$\frac{4}{24}x>\frac{3}{24}x$

therefore

Pizzas teacher A were cut into larger slices
