if ginger evenly shares 3/4 of a pizza with 8 people how big of a slice does each person get

Answer 1

To determine 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.

\[ \text{Slice size} = \frac{3/4}{8} \]

To divide a fraction by a whole number, you can multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number:

\[ \text{Slice size} = \frac{3}{4 \times 8} = \frac{3}{32} \]

Therefore, each person gets \( \frac{3}{32} \) of the pizza.

Answer 3

It looks like you are providing options for the size of the pizza slice per person. Based on the earlier calculation:

Each person receives \( \frac{3}{32} \) of a pizza.

Let's convert this to a decimal for comparison to your options:

\[ \frac{3}{32} = 0.09375 \]

Now, let's evaluate each of the options:

1. \( 6 \frac{3}{4} \) is equivalent to \( 6.75 \), which is much larger than 0.09375.
2. \( \frac{1}{2} \) equals \( 0.5 \), still larger than 0.09375.
3. \( \frac{1}{4} \) equals \( 0.25 \), also larger than 0.09375.
4. \( \frac{1}{12} \) equals approximately \( 0.0833 \), which is smaller than \( \frac{3}{32} \) (0.09375) but closest to it.

Given the options, none match exactly to \( \frac{3}{32} \) but if forced to select one, \( \frac{1}{12} \) is the closest.
