Answer 1

Hello!

There are many ways you can solve this question. I'll show you a few. Way 1:

Convert 1/4 to a decimal by dividing its numerator by its denominator.

1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

1/4 is 0.25 as a decimal.
Then, multiply the amount of slices of pizza by the decimal form.

12 × 0.25 = 3

Way 2:

Since the numerator is 1, simply divide ths number of slices by the denominator of the fraction. You will get the same answer.

12 ÷ 4 = 3

Olivia ate 3 slices of pizza.
