Del and his 5 friends eat 4 pizzas. If each has the same amount and there is 1/4 of a pizza left over, how much did each person eat
3.75 / 6 = 0.625 = 5/8 pizza
Geh
To calculate how much each person ate, we need to find out the total amount of pizza that was eaten.
Since Del and his 5 friends ate 4 pizzas, and there is 1/4 of a pizza left over, we can subtract the leftover amount from the total amount to find out how much pizza was eaten.
Total amount of pizza = 4 - 1/4
= 3 3/4
Now, to find out how much each person ate, we will divide the total amount of pizza by the number of people.
Amount of pizza each person ate = (3 3/4) / 6
= 3/4 / 6
To simplify this division, we can convert the mixed number into an improper fraction and then divide:
3/4 = (3 * 1/4) = 12/4
12/4 divided by 6 = 12/4 * 1/6 = (12/4) * (1/6) = 12/24
So, each person ate 12/24 of a pizza.
To calculate how much each person ate, we first need to determine the total amount of pizza consumed. We know that Del and his 5 friends ate 4 pizzas and there is 1/4 of a pizza left over.
To find the total amount of pizza eaten, we can subtract the remaining 1/4 of a pizza from the initial 4 pizzas:
4 pizzas - 1/4 of a pizza = (16/4) - (1/4) = 15/4 pizzas
Now, to find how much each person ate, we divide the total amount of pizza consumed by the number of people (Del and his 5 friends, which is 6 people in total):
(15/4 pizzas) ÷ 6 people = (15/4) ÷ 6 = 15/24 = 5/8 of a pizza
Therefore, each person ate 5/8 of a pizza.
