Joy ate 1/4 of a pizza. if she divides the rest of the pizza into pieces equal to 1/8 pizza for her family, how many pieces will her family get?
Answer:
How many pieces will her family get?
6 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
This pizza was divided in 4 pieces, Joy ate 1/4, we need to know how many pieces are left now?
\(\frac{4}{4} -\frac{1}{4} =\frac{4-1}{4} =\frac{3}{4}\)
Now, we have 3/4 of a pizza and Joy will divide this rest of the pizza in pieces equal to 1/8, so we need to make a division
\(\frac{3}{4}\)รท\(\frac{1}{8}=\frac{24}{4}=\) 6 equal pieces
