Sharee and her two sisters ate 3 /5 of a pizza. How much of the pizza did each girl have? A) 1 /3 B) 1/ 5 C) 2 /15 D) 3 /10
Answer:
B) 1/ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of persons = Sharee and her two sisters = 3 persons
Quantity of pizza eaten = 3/5
Each person ate:
3 persons = 3/5 pizza
1 person = x pizza
Cross Multiply
3 × x = 3/5 × 1
x = 3/5 × 1/3
x = 3/5 ÷ 3
x = 3/5 × 1/3
x = 1/5
Hence, each person ate 1/5 pizza.
