How much pizza did her family eat in all? A \( \frac{8}{12} \) C \( 1 \frac{3}{8} \) D \( 3 \frac{3}{8} \)

To solve how much pizza her family ate in total, you'd want to convert all fractions into improper fractions or decimals for easier addition. If the fractions represent portions of different pizzas eaten by family members, adding those together gives you the overall amount. Using a common denominator makes this much simpler! Another fun way to look at it is through pizza history! Did you know that pizza has been enjoyed since ancient times? The Romans had a version called 'picea,' a flatbread topped with various ingredients long before the modern pizza came into being in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century with the famous Margherita pizza, representing the colors of the Italian flag!
