Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats a third 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?
A. 7/9
B. 1/3
C. 1/3
D. 2/9
We are asked to find a fraction of pizza other three friends got.
A whole pizza represents 1, and one friend eats 1/3 of 1=1/3*1=1/3
Now, the remaining pizza is 1-1/3=3/3-1/3=2/3
The three friends share 2/3 of pizza equally. So, each friend gets
Therefore, each of the three friends get 2/9 of the pizza.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #3: A child has a bottle full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. There are four as many quarters as pennies, three times as many as nickels as pennies, and five times as many dimes as nickels. How many more dimes does the child have than pennies?
A. 5 times as many
B. 10 times as many
C. 20 times as many
D. 15 times as many
Answer Explanation
Explanation:
In this question, we need to find the ratio of dimes to quarters.
If we let x be number of pennies in the bottle. Then,
Number of quarters in the bottle = 4x
Number of nickels in the bottle = 3x
Number of dimes in the bottle =5(3x)=15x
Now relating dimes to quarters, we have
Thus, there are 15 times as many dimes as pennies in the box.
