6. Meena’s family had a pizza for dinner. The pizza was cut into 8 equal pieces. Meena ate 1 piece, her brother ate 2 pieces, and her mother ate 3 pieces. a) What fraction of the pizza did Meena eat? Her brother eat? Her mother eat? b) Which person’s fraction can you write in more than one way? Explain. c) What fraction of the pizza was eaten? What fraction was left?
Answer: Meena ate 1/8. Her brother ate 2/8, and her mom ate 3/8ths of the pizza. Her brother can be simplified from 2/8 to 1/4. Lastly, 6/8ths of the pizza has been eaten. 2/8ths is all that remains.
