A pizza is cut into 12 equal pieces. If Andrew and Kelvin share 3 pieces equally between themselves, what fraction of the pizza does each of them eat?
(1) 5/12
(2) 1/12
(3) 1/4
(4) 1/8
Three pieces out of 12 is equal to a quarter of the pizza. Sharing this equally between Andrew and Kelvin means each of them eats 1/8 of the pizza. Therefore, the answer is (4) 1/8.
To find out the fraction of the pizza that each of them eats, we need to divide the number of pieces they are sharing by the total number of pieces.
In this case, Andrew and Kelvin are sharing 3 pieces out of the total 12 pieces.
So, the fraction of the pizza that each of them eats is:
3/12 = 1/4
Therefore, the correct answer is (3) 1/4.
