Question

Isabelle shares a pizza with her mother, her brother, and her father. Each person will get a fourth. She hands out 2 pieces. She eats 1 piece. How many pieces does she have left?

A. 0

B. 3

C. 1

Answer 1

well, the whole pizza is 4 * 1/4, right?

so, what's 4-3?

Answer 2

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Isabelle shares the pizza with her mother, brother, and father, so there are a total of 4 people.
2. The pizza is divided into fourths, which means each person gets 1/4 of the pizza.
3. Since Isabelle hands out 2 pieces, 2/4 of the pizza is distributed to the other three people.
4. Isabelle then eats 1 piece, so there are now 1/4 of the pizza left.
5. Adding up the pieces distributed to the other three people (2/4) and the piece Isabelle ate (1/4), we have a total of 3/4 of the pizza gone.
6. Therefore, Isabelle has 1/4 of the pizza left.

So the answer is C. 1

Answer 3

To get the answer, we need to calculate the total number of pizza pieces Isabelle starts with and then subtract the pieces she hands out and the piece she eats.

Isabelle shares the pizza with her mother, brother, and father, so there are 4 people in total. Each person will get a fourth of the pizza, which means there are 4 pieces in total.

Isabelle hands out two pieces to other people, leaving her with 4 - 2 = 2 pieces.

Isabelle then eats one piece, which means she now has 2 - 1 = 1 piece left.

So, the correct answer is C. Isabelle has 1 piece left.
