Question

HELP!!!!!!!! THIS WAS DUE LAST WEEK!!!! Mrs. Johnson cut a pizza into three equal sections. She gave each of her four children the same amount of one the sections. What part of whole pizza did Mrs. Johnson give to each of her children?

Answer 1

It would be 12 because if there are 3 slices divided into 4 it would be 12 small slices

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3 of the pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last part is there to throw you off.

So we know there was a pizza and it was cut into 3 equal sections

The 4 kids received a equal section of ONE of the 3 sections given

So this means Johnson cut the pizza into thirds and then split 1 of the thirds into fourths, either way, its still 1/3 of the pizza gone.

If its still confusing jut imagine the pizza being cut into thids, one side is plain, 1 side has mushrooms, and 1 side has pepperoni. The kids want the plain one so that was taken out and Split into fourths, that slice is gone, there were 2 other split equal sizes.
