Respuesta :

Answer: sorry i meant 7.5 would be incorrect

Step-by-step explanation: she wouldn't be able to do it if it goes over 6 so that is incorrect

Answer:

Teagan is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Number of friends = 6

Pizza eaten by all friends = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Now, in order to find pizza eaten by each friend, Teagan need to divide pizza eaten by total number of friends.

Formula:

[tex]\text{Pizza eaten by each friend} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Total pizza eaten}}{\text{Number of friends sharing the pizza}}\\\\= \displaystyle\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{6} = \displasystyle\frac{4}{30} = \displaystyle\frac{2}{15}[/tex]

Thus, each friend had  [tex]\frac{2}{15}[/tex] of a pizza.
