Question

mark had a box of four pizzas for his party. each pizza was cut into eight pieces. after the party all of the pizza was gone. his mom said 32/32 of the pizza was eaten. is she right?

Answer 1

Yes, she is right.

If each pizza is cut into 8 pieces, then 4 pizzas will be cut into 4 x 8 = 32 pieces in total.

If all of the pizza was eaten, that means 32 pieces were eaten.

Expressing that as a fraction, we get:

32/32

Which simplifies to:

1

So, his mom is correct in saying that 32/32 of the pizza was eaten, which is equivalent to saying that all of the pizza was eaten.

Answer 2

Yes.

Explanation:

Assuming that what she means by "gone" is "eaten", then she is indeed right.

4 pizzas sliced into 8 pieces is the same as:

4 x 8 which equals to 32. [4 x 8 = 32]

So, if all of the pizza was gone, then all or 32 of 32 (or 32/32) was eaten.

She is otherwise wrong if part of the pizza slices were thrown away unbeknownst to them.
