If you eat 2/3 of a pizza, and are left with 12 slices, how many slices are in 1/2 of the pizza?
X slices = Whole pizza.
1/3 of a pizza = 12 Slices.
1/3 * x = 12.
X = 36 Slices = A whole pizza.
1/2 * 36 = 18 Slices.
tysm!
Well, if 2/3 of a pizza equals 12 slices, then we can calculate how many slices are in 1/3 of the pizza, which would be 12 slices divided by 2, giving us 6 slices.
Now, if 1/3 of the pizza equals 6 slices, then 1/2 of the pizza would be... drumroll, please... half of 6 slices! That's right! So, 1/2 of the pizza would be 3 slices.
So, grab your fork and enjoy your delicious 3 slices of pizza! Bon appé!
To find out how many slices are in half of the pizza, we need to determine the total number of slices in the whole pizza first.
Given that you ate 2/3 of the pizza and are left with 12 slices, we can calculate the number of slices in the whole pizza by finding the reciprocal of 2/3 and multiplying it by 12.
Reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 (flipping the numerator and denominator), so we can express the calculation as follows:
Total slices = 3/2 x 12
Now, let's calculate the total number of slices in the whole pizza:
Total slices = 3/2 x 12 = (3 x 12) / 2 = 36/2 = 18
Therefore, there are 18 slices in the whole pizza. To find out how many slices are in half of the pizza, we need to calculate half of 18:
Number of slices in 1/2 of the pizza = 1/2 x 18 = 18/2 = 9
So, there are 9 slices in 1/2 of the pizza.
