Nikki ate 1/4 of a pizza. The pizza had more than 4 slices. Which fraction describes how much of the pizza Nikki could have eaten ?

A. 3/10
B. 2/8
C. 2/6
D. 4/12

2/8

Which fraction is equivalent to 1/4?

To determine which fraction describes how much of the pizza Nikki could have eaten, we need to find a fraction that is less than or equal to 1/4, since Nikki ate 1/4 of the pizza.

Let's analyze each option:

A. 3/10: This fraction is greater than 1/4, so it does not fit.
B. 2/8: This fraction is equivalent to 1/4 and represents the same amount, so it is a suitable option.
C. 2/6: This fraction is greater than 1/4, so it does not fit.
D. 4/12: This fraction is greater than 1/4, so it does not fit.

Therefore, the answer is B. 2/8.

To determine which fraction describes how much of the pizza Nikki could have eaten, we need to compare the fraction of the pizza Nikki ate (1/4) to the total number of slices in the pizza.

Let's go through each option and see which one matches our condition.

A. 3/10: This fraction does not match 1/4, so it is not the correct answer.

B. 2/8: This fraction can be simplified to 1/4, which matches the fraction Nikki ate. So, this option could be the correct answer.

C. 2/6: This fraction can also be simplified to 1/3, which does not match 1/4. So, this option is not the correct answer.

D. 4/12: This fraction can be simplified to 1/3, which also does not match 1/4. So, this option is not the correct answer.

By comparing the options, we find that the fraction that matches how much of the pizza Nikki could have eaten is B. 2/8.
