Question

Someone cut a whole pizza into 3 equal parts she gave her four children the same amount of one of the sections what part of the whole pizza did she give each one of her children?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/12 of the whole pizza

Explanation:

Someone cut a whole pizza into 3 pieces.

This means that the pizza was cut into 1/3 slices each.

She then gave her 4 children one of these sections to share equally.

The part each child got is:

= 1/3 ÷ 4

= 1/3 * 1/4

= 1/12 of the whole pizza

Note: When dividing fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the inverse of the second fraction to find your answer.
