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

Question

a; 6 3/4
b; 1/4
c; 1/2
d; 1/12

Answer 1

To find out how much pizza each person gets when Ginger shares \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a pizza with 8 people, we divide \( \frac{3}{4} \) by 8.

The calculation is:

\[ \text{Slice per person} = \frac{3}{4} \div 8 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 8} = \frac{3}{32} \]

None of the answer choices (a, b, c, d) is \( \frac{3}{32} \), so it looks like an error is present in the options provided. However, based on the calculation, each person would get \( \frac{3}{32} \) of the pizza.

Answer 2

a b c or d.

Answer 3

Let's revisit the calculations with the options provided:

When Ginger shares \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a pizza with 8 people, each person gets:

\[ \text{Slice per person} = \frac{3}{4} \div 8 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{32} \]

Now, let's convert \( \frac{3}{32} \) into a decimal to compare with the answer choices.

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

The options are: a) \( 6 \frac{3}{4} \) - which is significantly larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \). b) \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \) - which is also larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \). c) \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \) - again larger than \( \frac{3}{32} \). d) \( \frac{1}{12} \approx 0.0833 \) - which is actually less than \( \frac{3}{32} \), making it the only option that is close to our calculated slice size.

Since \( \frac{3}{32} \approx 0.09375 \) is in-between \( \frac{1}{12} (0.0833) \) and \( \frac{1}{4} (0.25) \), none of the exact values match. However, the closest option we have is:

d) \( \frac{1}{12} \).

So, based on the options given, the best choice is d) \( \frac{1}{12} \).
