their was only 1/2 pizza 3 needed 2 share it ... how much of the original pizza woud each person get please help right away!!!!!

We are going to have to divide...
We have to put 1 as a denominator for 3 because it's a whole.
$\frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{1}$
Cross multiply.
$1*1=1$
$3*2=6$
$= \frac{1}{6}$
Each person would get $\frac{1}{6}$ of the original pizza.

Have a nice day! :)
