Question

Chloe had 3 over 4 of a pizza left. Addie ate 1 over 6 of Chloe's pizza. The fraction of the pizza Addie ate is

  1. 3 over 24 or 1 over 8 of the pizza
  2. 4 over 10 of the pizza
  3. 18 over 4 of the pizza
  4. 4 over 18 of the pizza

hintHint:

Given that Chloe had 3 over 4of a pizza left and Addie ate 1 over 6of Chloe's pizza. To find the fraction of the pizza Addie ate we need to find multiply 1 over 6by 3 over 4. It is one-sixth of the pizza that Chloe had left.

The correct answer is: 3 over 24 or 1 over 8 of the pizza


Step by step solution:
Given,
Chloe had 3 over 4of a pizza left.
the fraction of pizza Addie ate from Chloe = 1 over 6
Therefore, the amount of pizza Chloe had = fraction numerator 1 over denominator 6 space end fraction o f space 3 over 4
1 over 6 cross times 3 over 4
fraction numerator 1 cross times 3 over denominator 6 cross times 4 end fraction = 3 over 24
3 over 24 in its simplest form is 1 over 8.
Hence, the fraction of pizza that Addie had is 3 over 24 or 1 over 8.
Hence, option (a) is the correct option.

3 over 8 cross times 2 over 3=

Another approach to the question could be that first we can cut both the 3s, i.e., the 3 in the numerator of the first fraction and the 3 in the denominator of the second fraction. Also, we can reduce the 8 in the denominator of the first fraction and the 2 in the numerator in the second fraction. The 8 gets reduced to 4.
Hence, 3 over 8 cross times 2 over 3 equals 1 fourth
Thus, option (a) is the correct option.
