Question

Alex and 3 other friends each ate 3/8 of a pizza . How much pizza dis alex and his friends eat in all?

Answer 1

Each person ate 3/8 of a pizza, and there were 4 people.

3/8 + 3/8+ 3/8 + 3/8 = 12/8

12/ 8 is an Improper fraction

12 divided by 8 = 1 4/8

4/8 can be simplified to 1/2

So the boys ate 1 1/2 pizza altogether.
