Together, Jasmine and Kelly ate of one pizza.
How much of the pizza did Jasmine eat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4/6 of a pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Both pizzas are of the same size.

Jasmine cut her's into 12 slices.

Kelly cut her's into 6 slices, and ate 2 slices, then Kelly ate 2/6 of a pizza.

Jasmine ate X of a pizza, and we know that between them ate a total of 1 pizza.

This means that:

X of a pizza + 2/6 of a pizza = 1 pizza

X + 2/6 = 1

X = 1 - 2/6

X = 6/6 - 2/6 = 4/6

Jasmine ate 4/6 of a pizza, knowing that she cut her's into 12 slices, this would mean that she ate 8/12 of a pizza, or 8 slices.
