• B. $3\frac{2}{4}$
• C. $2\frac{3}{4}$
• D. $4\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2\frac{3}{4}$

A pizza is cut into 4 pieces.
Hence, the denominator of the fraction must be 4.
Nancy ate a total of 11 pieces.
It means that the numerator is 11.
The fraction is $\frac{11}{4}$.
It means that she ate 2 whole pizzas and 3 parts of the third.

Hence, the fraction is $2\frac{3}{4}$.
We can also calculate it by dividing 11 by 4.

$4\left)11\right(2-8\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_3$
Hence, the fraction obtained is $2\frac{3}{4}$.
