Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If one friend eats half of the pizza, then the remaining half is to be divided among the other three friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out what portion of the pizza each of the other three friends receives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The remaining portion of the pizza is 12\\frac{1}{2}21\u200b.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. This remaining portion is divided equally among the three friends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So each friend receives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    12\u00f73=12\u00d713=16\\frac{1}{2} \\div 3 = \\frac{1}{2} \\times \\frac{1}{3} = \\frac{1}{6}21\u200b\u00f73=21\u200b\u00d731\u200b=61\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
