Emma ate 6 slices of pizza. She ate 3/4 of the entire pizza. How many slices of piZa were there in all?
Emma ate 6 slices of pizza
She had \(\frac{3}{4}\) of the pizza
\(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{1}\)
To equally compare it, you must have a common denominator
\(\frac{6}{1} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{24}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{24}{4}\)
The number of pizzas to multiply by 3 to get to 24 (to make it equal is 8)
So \(\frac{3}{4} *8= \frac{24}{4}\)
Answer:
So that means there was 8 slices but she ate 6
\(\frac{6}{8}\) is the fraction for it
If she at 6 slices and she ate 3/4 divide 6 and 3 and the answer is 2 then add 2 onto 6 and the answer will be 8 slices of pizza .
