Each person would get [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pizza.
Solution:
Total quantity of pizza = [tex]1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Number of persons shared = 3
To find how much pizza would each person get:
Let us first convert improper fraction into mixed fraction.
[tex]$1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{1\times8 + 7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
Now divide the total quantity of pizza by the number persons shared.
[tex]$\text{Quantity of pizza each person get}=\frac{(\frac{15}{8}) }{3}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{15}{8\times3}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{15}{24}[/tex]
Divide both numerator and denominator by 3.
[tex]$=\frac{15\div3}{24\div3}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Quantity of pizza each person get = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Hence each person would get [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pizza.
