A. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/5
we need to find the portion of pizza shared by two other friends.
We know that a whole pizza represents 1 and one friend eats half of it. So, the remaining amount left to other two friends is
Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/2=1/2
Now, the two friends share ½ amongst themselves equally. Then, each friend gets
The two friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

Q #1: Solve for w in the equation below.
A. w=rxy+z
B. w=(x/ry)+(z/r)
C. w=y(z+rx)
D. w=(x/ry)-(z/r)
Answer Explanation
We are asked to make w the subject of the formula.
First, we rearrange the equation by to ensure w is on the right hand of the equation.
Then, divide both sides by r
Multiply both sides by y
The above equation can be rearranged into
Thus, the formula for finding the value of w is (x/ry)-(z/r).

Q #3: Which of the following values is the greatest?
A. 3/8
B. 6.25
C. 10/7
D. 7.4
Answer Explanation
To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

The LCM for the denominators of 8, 100, 7, and 10 is 2800. Now we can multiply each fraction with the LCM.
3/8*2800=1050
625/100*2800=17500
10/7*2800=4000
74/10*2800=20720
The fraction 7.4 is the greatest of all.
