Question

A family had 1/3 of pizza left over. Later 3 people shared the remaining 1/3 equally. What fractional part of the whole pizza did each get

Answer 1

Answer: 1/9 pizza portions

Explanation:

The pizza was left with only 1/3 of it and 3 people shared this.

The fractional part of the whole pizza that each of the three people ate is therefore:

= Percentage of who pizza left / Number of people

= 1/3 ÷ 3

= 1/3 * 1/3

= 1/9 pizza portions
