Jada has 1/4 of a pizza left. She is going to split the leftovers equally with 6 of her friends. What fraction of the whole pizza will each piece be?
1/6 * 1/4 = 1/24
Is this the answer? Do I add or divide
I gave you the answer.
* means multiply
To find out what fraction of the whole pizza each piece will be, we can divide the fraction of pizza Jada has left by the number of friends she wants to share it with.
Jada has 1/4 of a pizza left, and she wants to split it equally among 6 friends. So, we need to divide 1/4 by 6.
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can multiply the numerator (the top number) of the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number (the reciprocal is found by flipping the fraction).
So, we have: (1/4) ÷ 6 = (1/4) × (1/6)
Multiplying the two fractions together, we get:
(1/4) × (1/6) = (1 × 1) / (4 × 6) = 1 / 24
Therefore, each piece will be 1/24 of the whole pizza.
