16. 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 did each of the other three friends receive?
Answer: D
Each of the other three friends received one-sixth of the pizza.
After one friend eats half of the pizza, the remaining portion is half. This leftover half is then divided equally among the three friends, resulting in each receiving one-sixth of the pizza.
A) 06-Jan
This option does not provide a valid fraction for the portion of pizza each friend receives. It appears to be a date rather than a numerical fraction, making it incorrect.
B) 04-Jan
Similar to option A, this choice represents a date rather than a fraction of the pizza. Therefore, it cannot be considered a valid answer to the question.
C) 03-Jan
This option also suggests a date and fails to represent a fraction of the pizza. Thus, it is incorrect and does not address the question.
D) 06-Jan
This choice correctly indicates one-sixth of the pizza each of the three friends receives. After one friend consumes half, the remaining half is divided by three, leading to each getting one-sixth.
Conclusion
The correct answer is D, as it represents the accurate portion of pizza each of the remaining friends receives after the first friend has eaten half. Options A, B, and C do not provide valid numerical answers in the context of the question, confirming D as the only viable choice.
