Question

Billy has 5 friends and he has leftovers from yesterday, there is 3/4 of the pizza left, he wants to share the pizza equally with him and his friends. How much of the whole pizza does everyone get?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given

There are a total of 6 persons including billy and his 5 friends

`(3)/(4)\ \text{of the pizza is left}`

i.e.
`(3)/(4)\ \text{of pizza must be divided among 6 friends}`

each friend gets
`((3)/(4))/(6)=(3)/(4* 6)=(1)/(8)`

So, each gets
`(1)/(8)` of the whole pizza
