Solution:
Q1: 1/4 pizza
Q2: 1/12 each
Q3: 7/12 pizza
I drew a picture of a pizza. I colored in the half of it that I ate. I
cut the other part in half, and it made a fourth for my brother. There
was only one quarter left, and the pieces were 1/12 each, 1/12 for each
of my friends and 1/12 for me. The half I already ate makes that 7/12.
About me: I like pokemon. I like sports, bicycle riding, piano
playing, and playing with my brother and sister.
