Question

A family has a half a pizza left. Of each whole pizza has 8 pieces and the four children want to share the half pizza, what part of a whole pizza does each one get?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that

The whole pizza contained eight pieces

But as if now the half pizza is left that means the half of eight peices is 4 pieces that represent the half pizza

Now there are the four children so the each one get is

= $\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{1}{8}$

Hence the each one get 1 by 8th part of the whole pizza and the same is to be considered
