Five friends are sharing a pizza. Two friend eats a quarter 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?
A. 1/6
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/5
A whole pizza represents 1, and two friends eat ¼ of the pizza. The remaining fraction of pizza is:
Remaining amount = 
Thus, 3/4 of pizza is left for three friends to share equally.
Now, the other three friends will each get
So, the other three friends will each get 1/4 of the pizza.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #1: One gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. If the maintenance department needs 51 gallons of solution to clean all of the floors, how much ammonia is needed?
A. 510 gallons
B. 51 gallons
C. 510 oz
D. 51 oz
Answer Explanation
We use given information to find how much ammonia is need to make the specified solution.
We are told, one gallon of cleaning solution requires 10 oz of ammonia. Expressing this mathematically yields two options:
\(\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\) or \(\frac{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}\)
Now we find how much ammonia is needed using option two.
\(51\ gallon\ of\ solution\ *\frac{10\ oz\ of\ ammonia}{1\ gallon\ of\ solution}\ =\ 510\ oz\ of\ ammonia\)
From the above equation, gallon of solution will cancel, and oz of ammonia is left.
Therefore, the solution will require 510 oz of ammonia.

Q #2: Which of the following is the weight of the cargo in a truck if 2/3 of the cargo weighs 530 pounds (lb)?
A. 795 lb
B. 1030 lb
C. 1590 lb
D. 688 lb
Answer Explanation
The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.
Solve for value of p by cross products
Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3
The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.
