Question

A pizza is cut into 6 equal slices. I eat half of one slice. What fraction of the pizza do I eat?

• A. $\frac{5}{15}$
• B. $\frac{1}{12}$
• C. 2
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{1}{12}$

The pizza is cut into 6 slices.
Fraction of each slice of pizza = $\frac{1}{6}$

Half of one slice = $\frac{1}{2}$ of $\frac{1}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$

Hence, fraction of the pizza I eat = $\frac{1}{12}$
