Ms. Jones ordered pizzas for the drama club end of school year party. Four students shared 2/3 of a vegetarian pizza. What fraction of the pizza did each student get if they shared equally?

Answer 1

Each student got 1/4 of the 2/3 of the pizza. You can divide 2/3 by 4, which is the same thing as multiplying 2/3 by 1/4. When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across. 2X1=2 and 3X4=12 so each student ate 2/12 of the pizza.
