six friends share 5 small pizzas. each friend first eats half a pizza. how much more pizza does each friend need to eat to finish all the pizzas and share them equally?

equal shares are 5/6 pizza each.

5/6 - 1/2 = 1/3

5-6*1/2=2 pizzas remaining

2/6= each new portion.

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:

1. The total number of pizzas is 5.
2. Each friend first eats half a pizza, which means they eat 1/2 of a pizza.
3. Since there are 6 friends, they collectively eat 6 * 1/2 = 3 pizzas in total.
4. Therefore, after the initial eating, there are 5 - 3 = 2 pizzas remaining.
5. To share the remaining pizzas equally among the 6 friends, each friend needs to eat an additional 2 / 6 = 1/3 of a pizza.

So, each friend needs to eat an additional 1/3 of a pizza to finish all the pizzas and share them equally.

To find out how much more pizza each friend needs to eat to finish all the pizzas and share them equally, we first need to determine the total amount of pizza that needs to be consumed.

Given that there are 6 friends and 5 small pizzas, and each friend has already eaten half a pizza, the total pizzas consumed so far is 6 friends × 0.5 pizza = 3 pizzas. Hence, we have 5 - 3 = 2 pizzas left to share.

To find out how much more pizza each friend needs to eat, we divide the remaining pizzas among the friends. Since there are 6 friends and 2 pizzas left, each friend needs to eat 2 pizzas ÷ 6 friends = 0.33 pizzas (rounded to two decimal places).

Therefore, each friend needs to eat an additional 0.33 pizzas to finish all the pizzas and share them equally.
