I cannot remember how to figure out this problem. "Ten friends share 3 pizzas equally. What fraction of a whole pizza does each friend get?" Would it be 3/10? Not looking for the actual answer but really how i can figure it out. Thank you!
First, you have to figure out what you are sharing then switch it from division to Multiplication.
Yes, you're right.
Three pizzas divided by ten people = 3/10
If there are 37 figures and there are six people how many will each person get
To figure out the fraction of a whole pizza each friend gets, you need to divide the total number of pizzas by the number of friends. In this case, you have 3 pizzas shared among 10 friends.
One way to solve it is by dividing the numerator (3) by the denominator (10). This would give you 3/10, which means each friend would get three-tenths (3/10) of a whole pizza.
Another way to visualize this is by dividing each pizza into 10 equal parts (since there are 10 friends), and then distributing the parts equally among the friends. In this scenario, each friend will receive 3 out of the 10 parts, which is also equivalent to 3/10 of a whole pizza.
Therefore, both the numerical calculation (3/10) and the visual representation indicate that each friend gets three-tenths of a whole pizza.
