Question

John invites 8 of his friends home for a sleepover during the holidays. He orders 3 large size pizzas. If the
pizza is shared equally among the friends, what is the share of pizza received by 1 person?

Answer 1

Let's say above there are 3 pizzas.

There are 8 friends.

If you count John , each person received 3/9 of 1 pizza, that is 1/3,

Why? there are 9 friends and 3 pizzas, so 9×3 = 27 and 9 friends ...1

so (9/27=3/9=1/3 ) of 1 pizza.

If you dont count John, each person received 3/8 of 1 pizza, from 1.
