If Ginger evenly shares 34
of a pizza with 8 people, how big of a slice does each person get?
To find the size of each slice that each person gets, we need to divide the total number of slices by the number of people.
There are 34 slices of the pizza and 8 people, so each person gets 34 / 8 = 4.25 slices.
To convert this to a whole number slice, we can round it down to the nearest whole number. Each person gets 4 slices of the pizza.
To find the size of each slice, we need to divide the total number of slices by the number of people.
1. Start by calculating the total number of slices in the pizza. Since Ginger is evenly sharing 34 slices of pizza,
each slice is equivalent to 1/34 of the whole pizza.
2. Now, divide this number of slices among 8 people:
(1/34) ÷ 8
To divide fractions, you need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
3. Multiply the first fraction by its reciprocal:
(1/34) × (1/8)
Multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together:
(1 × 1) / (34 × 8)
4. Simplify the fraction if possible:
1 / 272
Each person will receive 1/272 of the whole pizza, which can be considered the size of each slice.
