Henry is eating pizza. He ate 7/8 of a whole pizza that had 12 pieces. How many pieces did he eat?



Answer :

Since he had 7/8 of 12 slices, you have to multiply the two, since "of" is the same as "times."

[tex] \frac{7}{8}(12)= \frac{7}{8}( \frac{12}{1})= \frac{7(12)}{8(1)}= \frac{84}{8}=10 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Henry ate 10 1/2 slices of pizza.
