Answer 1

Sharee and her two sisters ate 3 /5 of a pizza. How much of the pizza did each girl have? A) 1 /3 B) 1/ 5 C) 2 /15 D) 3 /10

Answer:

B) 1/ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of persons = Sharee and her two sisters = 3 persons

Quantity of pizza eaten = 3/5

Each person ate:

3 persons = 3/5 pizza

1 person = x pizza

Cross Multiply

3 × x = 3/5 × 1

x = 3/5 × 1/3

x = 3/5 ÷ 3

x = 3/5 × 1/3

x = 1/5

Hence, each person ate 1/5 pizza.
