Mike and John ordered 2 pizzas. Mike ate 1/2 of his pizza and John ate 1/2 of his. How much did they eat altogether?
1 pizza
They ate 1 whole pizza altogether. First,I added 1/2 plus 1/2.Then,I got the sum of 1 whole.Therefore,they ate 1 whole pizza in total.Hope this helps!
To find out how much Mike and John ate altogether, we need to add up the fractions of pizza that they individually ate.
Mike ate 1/2 of his pizza, which can be represented as 1/2 × 1 = 1/2.
John also ate 1/2 of his pizza, which can be represented as 1/2 × 1 = 1/2.
To find the total amount they ate, we add the fractions together:
1/2 + 1/2 = 2/2.
Simplifying the fraction 2/2, we get:
2/2 = 1.
Therefore, Mike and John altogether ate 1 pizza.
