Question

Help. Step By Step Explanation. Ron and two of his friends ate one fourth each of an eight slice pizza. Find remaining slice of the pizza ​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 remaining slices

Step-by-step explanation:

It sounds complicated so firstly, let's break it down.

Ron and two of his friends

There are three people involved in this question.

ate one fourth each

These three people ate one fourth of the pizza each

of an eight slice pizza.

From a pizza with eight slices

Find remaining slice of the pizza ​

The main question : remaining slice of the pizza

So since there were three people and they ate one fourth of the pizza

( One fourth's $\frac{1}{4}$ by the way )

We need to find out how much have they ate.

Simply multiply 3 with $\frac{1}{4}$ .

3 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{12}{4}$ × $\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{3}{4}$

And there you go! Ron and his friends ate $\frac{3}{4}$ of the pizza.

But that's not the end.

The main question : Remaining slice of the pizza

It's an eight slice pizza, so a slice would be : $\frac{1}{8}$

A full eight slice pizza would be one.

So, to find the remaining slice of pizza, simply subtract $\frac{3}{4}$ from 1.

1 -  $\frac{3}{4}$ =  $\frac{4}{4}$ -  $\frac{3}{4}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Now there's a remainding of $\frac{1}{4}$ of the pizza.

But the question asked for remaining slices.

So, simply convert the denominator into 8!

( Just in case you don't know what's a denominator )

$\frac{numerator}{denominator}$

So, simply multiply the denominator by 2 to turn 4 into 8!

And also, whenever the denominator is multiplied/ divided by any number, so do the numerator.

$\frac{1 times 2}{4 times 2}$ = $\frac{2}{8}$

Your answer's the numerator, 2!

So your final answer should be 2 remaining slices out of the eight sliced pizza.
