Question

4th grade texas tornado spiral review. lacy ate 1/8 of a pizza. guy ate 1/8 of the pizza. how much of the pizza did they eat in all? equation: 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the fractions to add

Lacy ate $\frac{1}{8}$ and Guy ate $\frac{1}{8}$ of the pizza.

Step2: Add the fractions

When adding fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So $\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1 + 1}{8}=\frac{2}{8}$.

Step3: Simplify the fraction (optional)

$\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$ (dividing both numerator and denominator by 2).

Answer:

$\frac{2}{8}$ (or $\frac{1}{4}$)
