To find out how big of a slice each person gets when Ginger shares \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a pizza with 8 people, you can divide \( \frac{3}{4} \) by 8.
\[ \text{Slice per person} = \frac{3/4}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{32} \]
So each person gets \( \frac{3}{32} \) of the pizza.
None of the options A, B, C, or D correctly represent the amount each person gets. The correct answer is \( \frac{3}{32} \).
The fraction \( \frac{3}{32} \) is already in its simplest form, as there are no common factors between the numerator (3) and the denominator (32).
Therefore, \( \frac{3}{32} \) cannot be simplified further. Each person still gets \( \frac{3}{32} \) of the pizza.
To convert the fraction \( \frac{3}{32} \) into a mixed number, we first need to check if the numerator (3) is greater than or equal to the denominator (32). In this case, it is not, so we cannot express it as a mixed number because it is less than 1.
However, if you would like to represent it in a different way, you can say that:
\[ \frac{3}{32} = 0.09375 \]
Thus, in decimal form, it represents approximately 0.094 of a pizza, or about 9.375% of the pizza.
Since there is no whole number part to turn into a mixed number, the fraction remains \( \frac{3}{32} \). If you were strictly looking for a mixed number format, it stays as is because it is less than 1. Would you like any further calculations or explanations?
