Question

If 3 friends decide to share half a pizza equally, then each person’s share is __________ part of the pizza.

5
$\frac{9}{2}$
$\frac{17}{2}$
$\frac{9}{6}$

hint Hint:

To find the share of each person we need to divide the pizza by number of persons.

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 2 end fraction$

To find the share of each person we need to divide the total pizza by number of persons.
where as pizza to be shared = $1 half$ pizza and number of persons sharing = 3
So, share of pizza per person = $fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction divided by 3$
= $fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 3 end fraction$ (Reciprocal of $3$ is $fraction numerator 1 over denominator 3 end fraction$ )
$equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 6 end fraction$ part of pizza
Therefore, the share of each person is $1 over 6$ part of pizza.
