Question

Sybil has 1/2 pizza left over. she wants to share the pizza with her 3 friends. what fraction of the pizza will sybil and her 3 friends receive

Answer 1

Each friend will have $\frac{1}{6}$ because $\frac{1}{2} ÷ 3 = [tex] \frac{1}{6}$

Answer 2

Sybil and her 3 friends will receive ¹/₈ pizza

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division
4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem !

Let :

Initial Amount of Pizza = X

Sybil has 1/2 pizza left over → $\texttt{Sybil's Pizza} = \frac{1}{2}X$

She wants to share the pizza with her 3 friends.

We will divide the remaining pizza into 4 parts.

$\texttt{The portion of pizza each received} = \texttt{Sybil's Pizza} \div 4$

$\texttt{The portion of pizza each received} = \frac{1}{2}X \div 4$

$\texttt{The portion of pizza each received} = \frac{1}{2}X \times \frac{1}{4}$

$\texttt{The portion of pizza each received} = \frac{1}{8}X$

Conclusion:

Sybil and her 3 friends will receive ¹/₈ pizza
