Question

Pizza is cut into 8 equal pieces. A person who eats 1/2 of one piece eats what fraction of pizza?

Answer 1

Answer:  The fraction that the person eats is $\dfrac{1}{16}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a pizza is cut into 8 equal pieces. A person eats half of one piece.

We are to find the fraction of the pizza that the person eats.

The solution is as follows:

The fraction of 1 pizza that the person eats is $=\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Therefore, the fraction of 8 pizzas that the person eats is given by

$\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{16}.$

Thus, the required fraction is $\dfrac{1}{16}.$

Answer 2

If a person were to eat half of a pizza slice that was gotten from a pizza that was divided in 8, the person would have eaten 1/16 of the pizza.

When a pizza is divided in 8 equal pieces, each pizza slice will be an eight of the pizza or 1/8.

If a person eats half of this slice, they would have eaten:

= 1/8 ÷ 2

= 1/8 x 1/2

= 1/16 of the pizza

In conclusion, the person ate 1/16 of the pizza.
