Peter ate 2/8 of a pizza.John ate half of what Peter ate. What fraction of the pizza did John eat? Who ate more?
If John ate half of what Peter ate, clearly Peter ate more.
so, what is 1/2 of 2/8?
what is 1/2 of 2?
To find out what fraction of the pizza John ate, we need to first determine how much Peter ate. Given that Peter ate 2/8 of the pizza, we can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
When we simplify 2/8, we get 1/4. This means that Peter ate 1/4 of the pizza.
Now, we know that John ate half of what Peter ate. To find out what fraction of the pizza John ate, we need to divide 1/4 by 2.
When we divide 1/4 by 2, we get 1/8. So, John ate 1/8 of the pizza.
To determine who ate more, we can compare the fractions. We find that Peter ate 1/4, while John ate 1/8.
Since 1/4 is greater than 1/8, Peter ate more pizza than John.
