Four friends equally shared $\frac{3}{4}$ of a pizza, which was left over after a party. What fraction of a whole pizza did each friend get?
(A) $\frac{3}{8}$
(B) $\frac{3}{16}$
(C) $\frac{1}{12}$
(D) $\frac{1}{16}$
(E) $\frac{1}{8}$

## Solution

If $\frac{3}{4}$ of a pizza was shared by 4 friends, they would each receive $\frac{1}{4}$ of $\frac{3}{4}$, or $\frac{1}{4} ¥ \frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{16}$ of the pizza.
