Question

If 5 friends want to share 1.25 of a pizza evenly, how much pizza would each person get?

Answer 1

Step 1

Convert decimal number to a mixed number

we know that

$1.25=1+0.25=1+\frac{1}{4}= \frac{4*1+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

Step 2

Divide the total pizza by the number of friends

$\frac{(5/4)}{5} =\frac{5}{20}= \frac{1}{4}=0.25$

therefore

the answer is

$0.25$

Answer 2

Four quarter in 1 dollar so 1.25 is 5 quarters so they would eat .25 or 1/4
