You bought a pizza with 8 slices. You were hungry so you ate 6 slices. What percent of the pizza did you eat?
6/8 = ?
4/7
To find out what percent of the pizza you ate, you need to determine the fraction of the pizza you consumed and then convert it to a percentage.
In this case, you started with 8 slices and ate 6 slices. Therefore, the fraction of the pizza you ate can be calculated by dividing the number of slices eaten by the total number of slices:
Fraction eaten = Number of slices eaten / Total number of slices
In this situation, the calculation would be:
Fraction eaten = 6 slices / 8 slices
Simplifying this fraction, we have:
Fraction eaten = 3/4
To convert this fraction to a percentage, you multiply it by 100:
Percentage eaten = (3/4) * 100
Calculating further:
Percentage eaten = 0.75 * 100
Percentage eaten = 75%
Therefore, you ate 75% of the pizza.
