Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza does each of the other three friends receive?

  • A. 1/5
  • B. 1/3
  • C. 1/4
  • D. 1/6
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: After one friend eats half of the pizza, the remaining half is divided equally among the three other friends. Each of the three friends receives 1/3 of the remaining half, not 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/3 of 1/2, which is 1/6 of the total pizza. The incorrect choices are:
B. 1/3 - This is the correct portion of the remaining pizza each friend receives, not 1/3.
C. 1/4 - This is not the accurate portion each friend receives after the first friend eats half of the pizza.
D. 1/6 - This is the portion of the total pizza each friend receives, not the portion each friend receives after the initial half is consumed.
