Question

Dave and sue share a pizza in the ratio of 2:3. They eat it all. What fraction of the pizza did dave eat?

Answer 1

Answer:

2:3 = 2/3 of a pizza. Therefore, to know the fraction of pizza eaten by Dave, we need to find the half of 2/3 of the pizza (if they share the pizza equally)

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, we need to divide 2/3 by 2.

2 2 1

--- / 2 = --- x ---

3 3 2

So, we to multiply 2/3x1/2, we first cancel 2, which changes to 1/3x1/1 = 1/3x1 = 1/3

Therefore, each one of them gets 1/3 of the 2/3 of pizza...
