Question

A pizza is to be cut into halves. Each of these halves is to be cut into sevenths. What fraction of the pizza is each of the final pieces?

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, A pizza is to be cut into halves.

Since half is represented by $\dfrac12$ .

So each piece is now $\dfrac12$ of the original.

if each of these halves is to be cut into sevenths, then the fraction of  final pieces would be: $\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{1}{14}$ or we can say each half is divides into 7 pieces since there are two halves, so there will be 2 x 7 = 14 peices.

And the fraction of the pizza is each of the final pieces = $\dfrac{1}{14}$ .
