Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for a dinner. He gave his 6 friends the rest of the pizza and told them to share it equally. To determine the fraction of the whole pizza that each of his friends received, hernando performed the calculations below. He concluded that each person received 1/8 of the whole pizza. Are hernandos calculations correct. Explain why or why not

The calculation is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Hernando ate 2/8 of a pizza for a dinner, the remaining pizza will be:

= 1 - 2/8

= 6/8

If he gave his 6 friends the rest of the pizza and told them to share it equally, each person will get:

= 6/8 ÷ 6

= 6/8 × 1/6

= 1/8

Each person will get 1/8 each

Since he also concluded that each person received 1/8 of the whole pizza, Hernandos calculations are correct
