When two fractions refer to the same whole. explain why the fraction with a lesser denominator has larger piecesthan the fraction with a greater denominator?

Let's say for example I have 2 pizzas.

I cut one into two halves and the other into eight eighths.

i'll take half from each pizza, meaning i have 1/2 slices of one and 4/8 slice of the other. the fraction with a lower denominator, in this case 1/2, has larger pieces because it is dived into less pieces than the fraction with a larger denominator.

 One slice of the first pizza would be bigger than one slice from the second.

Hope this helped!

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
