Question

Rahul has $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of a pizza. Abhay has $\dfrac{1}{2}\;$of a pizza. Which of the following statements are true?
(i) Rahul has more pizza (ii) Abhay has more pizza
(iii) Both Rahul and Abhay have an equal amount of pizza.

Answer 1

Hint:
In this type of question first we know what to find out.
Take 6 = 1 pizza, find the amount of pizza Rahul and Abhay has, then compare.

Complete step by step solution:
This question is based on a fraction chapter which is A fraction, or fractional number, is used to represent a part of a whole. Fractions consist of two numbers: a numerator (which is above the line) and a denominator (which is below the line). or. The denominator tells you the number of equal parts into which something is divided.
Given that,
⇒ Rahul has $\dfrac{2}{3}\;$of a pizza.
⇒ Abhay has $\dfrac{1}{2}$ of pizza.
Then,
According to question;
⇒ Let 6 = 1 pizza.
then,
Rahul has $\dfrac{2}{3}$ of a pizza
 $ = \dfrac{2}{3} \times 6 = 2 \times 2 = 4$
⇒ Abhay has $\dfrac{1}{2}$ of a pizza
 $ = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 = 3$

Hence, Rahul has more pizza.

Note:
In this type of question you always take 1 pizza is equal to anything which has been easy to calculate .This question is based on a fraction chapter that is A fraction, or fractional number, is used to represent a part of a whole. Fractions consist of two numbers: a numerator (which is above the line) and a denominator (which is below the line). or. The denominator tells you the number of equal parts into which something is divided. Another method take 1 pizza = 12 and then solve, Rahul = $\dfrac{2}{3} \times 12 = 8$
Abhay = $\dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6$
∴ Rahul has more pizza
