the pizza was sliced into 6 equal pieces. Matrin ate 2 pieces. What fraction of the pizza did he eat. what percent did he eat?
If the pizza is sliced in 6hts then its 2 over 6 and you reduce that because 2 goes into each of those numbers making it 1/3. to find the percent you take 1 divided by 3 and you'll get 33.33 repeating % round it to the nearest decimal asked for
fraction= pieces eaten/pizza slices
percent= pieces eaten/total slices * 100
To find the fraction of the pizza that Matrin ate, we need to divide the number of pieces he ate (2) by the total number of pieces the pizza was sliced into (6).
Fraction = Pieces eaten / Total slices
= 2 / 6
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.
2 / 6 can be simplified to 1 / 3.
Therefore, Matrin ate 1/3 of the pizza.
To find the percentage, we can convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator (1) by the denominator (3), and then multiply by 100.
Percent = Pieces eaten / Total slices * 100
= (1 / 3) * 100
Calculating this, we get 33.33% repeating. Rounding it to the nearest decimal, we can say that Matrin ate approximately 33.33% of the pizza.
