Question

For every pizza Eric's family ate 2 of the 8 pieces. If Eric‘s family bought two pizzas, right the ratio of the total number of pieces Eric eight to the total number of pieces the family ate.

Answer 1

The ratio of the total number of pieces Eric ate to the total number of pieces the family ate  is  4: 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

The total number of pieces in 1 pizza  = 8

The number of pieces Eric ate in 1 pizza out of total 8 pieces.  = 2 pieces

⇒The total number of pieces eaten by family  = 8 - 2  =  6 pieces

Also, total number of pizza brought  = 2

So, from the second pizza, Eric ate 2 more pieces.

And, again the total number of pieces eaten by family  =  6

⇒ The total pieces eaten by Eric  = 2  + 2  = 4 pieces

And The total pieces eaten by Eric's family   = 6  + 6  = 12 pieces

So, the ratio of Eric's Share : Family's Share  = 4  : 12

Hence, the ratio of the total number of pieces Eric ate to the total number of pieces the family ate  is  4: 12.
