Aisha, Craig and Leo each buy a pizza. Aisha eats 5/8 of her pizza, Craig eats 3/4 of his pizza and Leo eats 1/2 of his pizza. How many pizzas were eaten in total? Give your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To find out how many pizzas were eaten in total, we need to add up the fraction of pizza each person ate:

Aisha: 5/8
Craig: 3/4
Leo: 1/2

First, we need to find a common denominator to add these fractions. The least common multiple of 8, 4, and 2 is 8.

Aisha ate: 5/8
Craig ate: 6/8
Leo ate: 4/8

Adding these fractions together:

5/8 + 6/8 + 4/8 = 15/8

This is equivalent to 1 7/8 pizzas.

So, in total, Aisha, Craig, and Leo ate 1 7/8 pizzas.
