Question

If three people share 2/3 of a pizza what equal portion will each get?

Answer 1

The Solution:

Let the quantity of a pizza be represented with p.

So that the available pizza for the 3 people is obtained as below:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\text{ of p }\Rightarrow\frac{2}{3}p \\ \end{gathered}$

The equal portion for each of the 3 people can be obtained by dividing the available pizza by 3. That is,

$\frac{\frac{2}{3}p}{3}$

Which becomes

$\frac{2}{3}p\text{ }\times\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{9}p$

So, each of the 3 people will get 2/9 of a pizza.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2/9 of a pizza.
