You have 2/3 of a pizza. You divide the remaining pizza into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the pizza is each piece?
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{12}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The remaining part of the pizza after taking 2/3 part of the pizza
\(=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3-2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}\)
The number of equal pieces = 4,
Thus,
\(\text{The part of each piece}=\frac{\text{Remaining part}}{\text{Number of pieces}}\)
\(=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{4}\)
\(=\frac{1}{12}\)
Therefore, each piece is \(\frac{1}{12}\) of the pizza.
