Question

If a pizza is cut into 6 equal parts and 2 parts out of them are eaten, then the fraction of the pizza eaten is .

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{2}{6}$
• C. $\frac{3}{6}$
• D. $\frac{4}{6}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{2}{6}$

Total number of equal parts of the pizza $=6\to \text{Denominator}$

Number of parts eaten $=2\to \text{Numerator}$

A fraction represents a part of a whole.

∴ Fraction of the pizza eaten is:
$=\frac{\text{Number of parts eaten}}{\text{Total number of equal parts of the pizza}}$

$=\frac{2}{6}$

On a number line, it can be represented as :
