Question

I had ${\frac{1}{4}}^{\text{th}}$ of a pizza and now I want to divide the rest equally into 3 parts. Each part will be .

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{12}$
• C. $\frac{9}{4}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{4}$

If I eat $\frac{1}{4}$ of a pizza, then the part of the pizza remaining is $\frac{3}{4}.$
When I divide this $\frac{3}{4}$ into three equal parts, each part equals to $(\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{3}{)}^{\text{rd}}$ of the pizza.
i.e. $\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{3}{12}$= $\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, each part equals ${\frac{1}{4}}^{\text{th}}$ of the pizza.
