Question

10 people share for pizzas equally. How much pizza does each person get? How much pizza does each person get? In fraction form.

Answer 1

So if there are ten people
(:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D) (:D)
and four pizzas
O O O O
We need to figure out how many pieces we need to cut each pizza in for each person to have some.

I think the easiest way to do this would be to cut each pizza into tenths. Then each person would get 4/10

But four-tenths isn't simplified, so we need to find the GCF(Greatest Common Factor)
4: 1, 2, 4
10: 1, 2, 5, 10
The GCF is two, so we can divide the nominator and denominator by 2.
4/10=2/5
So, each person gets 2/5 of a pizza.


You can check this by multiplying 2/5 by ten.
2/5 *10= 4
