Roderick

Roderick has 2 3/4 boxes of pizza for himself and his seven friends. If they divide the pizza among themselves equally, how much of the pizza will each one get?

Correct answer:

x =  11/32

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=1+7=8 \\ p=2\frac{3}{4}=2+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{2\cdot 4+3}{4}=\frac{8+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}=2\frac{3}{4}=2.75 \\ x=p/n=\frac{11}{4}/8=\frac{11}{4\cdot 8}=\frac{11}{32}=0.3438 \end{gathered}$$
