Question

Daimaiyanti ate $\frac{2}{9}$ of the pizza. She decided to leave the remaining and asked Hari and Shankar to divide the rest equally amongst each other. How much of the pizza each did Hari and Shankar get? (3 marks)

Answer 1

Amount of pizza eaten by Daimaiyanti $=\frac{2}{9}$

Balance not eaten by Daimaiyanti

$\frac{9}{9}-\frac{2}{9}=\frac{7}{9}$ (1 mark)

This portion is to be divided equally amongst Hari and Shankar.

$\therefore$ Hari and Shankar will get $\frac{7}{9}÷\frac{2}{1}$ (1 mark)

$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{9}\times \frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{18}$ of the pizza each (1 mark)
