Nell made a pizza. she cut the pizza into fourths. then she cut each fourth. nell and her friens ate 6 of the smaller pieces of the pizza.

What fraction of the pizza did Nell and her friends eat?
What fraction of the pizza did Nell and friends Not eat?

Into how many pieces did she cut each fourth?

1/24

she cut each fourth into four peices

To find out what fraction of the pizza Nell and her friends ate, we need to compare the number of smaller pieces they ate to the total number of smaller pieces in the pizza.

First, let's see how many smaller pieces there are in total. Nell cut the pizza into fourths, which means each fourth represents 1/4 of the pizza. Then, she cut each fourth again, so each of the smaller pieces represents 1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16 of the pizza.

Now, let's determine the number of smaller pieces Nell and her friends ate, which is given as 6 pieces.

So, the fraction of the pizza that Nell and her friends ate is 6 pieces out of a total of 16 pieces. This can be written as 6/16. However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. After simplifying, the fraction becomes 3/8.

Therefore, Nell and her friends ate 3/8 of the pizza.

To determine the fraction of the pizza that Nell and her friends did not eat, we can subtract 3/8 from 1 (which represents the whole pizza).

1 - 3/8 = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

Therefore, Nell and her friends did not eat 5/8 of the pizza.
