Calculate 3/4 of 8 Pizza Slices: Fraction Word Problem

Daniel eats $\frac{3}{4}$ of a pizza made up of 8 slices.

How many slices does Daniel eat?

To solve this problem, let's follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the total number of slices, which is 8.
• Step 2: Multiply by the fraction that Daniel eats, $\frac{3}{4}$.

Now, let's perform the calculation:
$\frac{3}{4} \times 8$

The multiplication can be done by first rewriting 8 as a fraction:

$8 = \frac{8}{1}$

Thus the calculation becomes:
$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 1} = \frac{24}{4}$

Now, simplify $\frac{24}{4}$ by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
$\frac{24}{4} = 6$

Therefore, Daniel eats 6 slices of pizza.
