Question

Mrs. Suarez cut a pizza into 8 equal slices. Each person in her family are 2 slices. If there are 3 people in her family, what fraction of the pizza did they eat altogether?

Answer 1

If three people get two slices, six are eaten in total. 6/8 is a fraction that can be reduced to 3/4 of the pizza that they ate.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mrs. Suarez cut the pizza into 8 equal slices

There are 3 people in her family and they each eat 2 slices

You would take 3*2 to find out how many slices they ate

3*2=6

They ate 6 slices altogether

Therefore they ate 6/8 of the pizza

6/8 reduces down to 3/4

Mrs. Suarez's family ate 3/4 of the pizza.

Hope this helps ;)
