Mary had 3/4 of a pizza left over. She cut it into pieces, each of which is 3/8 of the whole pizza. How many pieces did Mary cut?

Answer 1

Lets start with a whole pizza. How many eighths are there?
we do

4/4*2/2=8/8, 8/8

is how many slices of pizza there are. we take away

1/4*2/2=2/8

making it 6/8 left. if there is 3/4 of a pizza left or 6/8 and each piece takes up 3/8 of the WHOLE pizza, how many pieces did she cut? I gave you most of it. I hope you can solve it now.

Please realize that I am not the smartest so I would check with a teacher before you write it down. hope this helped!!! :)
