dana ordered 1 medium cheese pizza with 8 slices. she ate 2 pieces.write 2 equivalent fractions to show the partof the pizza dana did not eat.
If Dana ate 2 pieces, that's 2/8ths of the pizza, or 1/4th. How can you show what Dana DIDN'T eat?
you would subtract 8-2 which equals 6. this would give you 6/8 which is 3/4
thats easy 2/6
2/4 and 3/7
What's the equivalent fraction to 1/4 of2/8
To find equivalent fractions, we need to divide the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by the same value. In this case, the numerator is the number of slices Dana did not eat, and the denominator is the total number of slices.
To determine the number of slices Dana did not eat, we subtract the number of slices she ate from the total number of slices:
Total slices - Slices eaten = Slices not eaten
8 slices - 2 slices = 6 slices not eaten
The two equivalent fractions representing the part of the pizza Dana did not eat are:
1. Fraction 1: 3/4
Divide the numerator (6) and denominator (8) by 2:
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 2 = 4
So, the fraction is 3/4, indicating that Dana did not eat 3 out of the 4 equal parts of the pizza.
2. Fraction 2: 9/12
Multiply the numerator (6) and denominator (8) both by 3:
6 × 3 = 18
8 × 3 = 24
Simplify it further by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 6:
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
Therefore, the equivalent fraction is 9/12, meaning that Dana did not eat 9 out of the 12 equal parts of the pizza.
