Consuela and her three friends order 2 pizzas. Consuela cuts each pizza into 8 equal slices. She saves 2 slices of pizza for her
older brother, Then she and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices. What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
Let x--------------> the number of slices eating by Consuela and her <span>three friends
we know that [total slices]=8*2=16 slices </span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2 x=16-2=14 slides </span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way) </span><span> the question is </span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over? </span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8 <span> the answer is (1/8)
