Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the pizza come in slices that are 1/8 each.

there are 36 slices, which means [tex]\frac{36}{288}[/tex].  so the simplest form is 1/8 as well. Maria bought 4 pizzas

The total amount of pizza Maria bought as a fraction is [tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex] and  8 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] as a mixed number

Total amount bought = fraction of a slice x total slices bought

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x 36  = [tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex]

The above expression is an improper fraction

An improper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is greater in value than the denominator

36 is greater than 4

A mixed number is a number that is made up  of a whole a whole number and a proper fraction.

To convert to an improper fraction to a mixed number:

  1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
  2. The whole number is written down
  3. The remainder is the numerator and the denominator in retained

[tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex] = 8[tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

When it is simplified it becomes 8 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
