Question

• If Alex eats one slice of cheese pizza, then how many slices of onion pizza should he eat so that the amount of pizza consumed by Alex is the same?

Answer 1

There are four slices of cheese pizza. One of them is absent.
So, the amount of cheese pizza eaten is $\frac{1}{4}$.

There are 8 slices of onion pizza. For the amount of pizza eaten to be the same as that of the cheese pizza, it must be an equivalent fraction of $\frac{1}{4}$ with denominator 8.

So, the amount of onion pizza eaten $=\frac{1\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{2}{8}$

Hence, 2 slices of onion pizza must be eaten by Alex.
