Question

If three people share 2/3 of a pizza what equal portion will each get?

Answer 1

The Solution:

Let the quantity of a pizza be represented with p.

So that the available pizza for the 3 people is obtained as below:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)\text{ of p }\Rightarrow(2)/(3)p \\ \end{gathered}`

The equal portion for each of the 3 people can be obtained by dividing the available pizza by 3. That is,

`((2)/(3)p)/(3)`

Which becomes

`(2)/(3)p\text{ }*(1)/(3)=(2)/(9)p`

So, each of the 3 people will get 2/9 of a pizza.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2/9 of a pizza.
