Question

In a pizza eating contest, Saumya ate $\frac{6}{8}$ of the pizza whereas Shreya finished just $\frac{1}{4}$ of her pizza. How much more pizza Saumya ate?

Answer 1

Amount of pizza Saumya ate = $\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Amount of pizza Shreya ate = $\frac{1}{4}$
Difference between them = $\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\left(because\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{2}\right)$
So $\frac{1}{2}$ amount of more pizza is eaten by Saumya.
