It looks like you've uploaded a
Quizizz worksheet titled *"Fraction Word Problems"* with 10 questions. However, the text for
questions 1–3 is partially cut off or missing, and only
questions 4–6 are fully visible.
I’ll help you solve and explain
questions 4 through 6, and if you can provide the full text for questions 1–3 (or clarify them), I can assist with those too.

🔹 Question 4:
> Joe’s mom ordered 12 pizzas for a party. 1/4 of the pizzas were pepperoni pizzas. How many pepperoni pizzas were there?
> Which operation would you apply to solve this?
####
✔ Solution:
We are given:
- Total pizzas = 12
- Fraction that are pepperoni = $ \frac{1}{4} $
To find how many pizzas are pepperoni, we need to
find a fraction of a whole number.
This requires
multiplication:
$$
\frac{1}{4} \times 12 = 3
$$
So,
3 pepperoni pizzas.

✔ Answer:
D. Multiplication

🔹 Question 5:
> A hamster weighs $ 4 \frac{2}{6} $ pounds. A mouse weighs $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ pounds. How much more does the hamster weigh than the mouse?
> Which operation would you apply to solve this?
####
✔ Solution:
We are being asked to find the
difference in weight between two animals.
That means we need to
subtract the smaller weight from the larger one.
So:
$$
\text{Hamster} - \text{Mouse} = 4 \frac{2}{6} - 3 \frac{1}{2}
$$
First, simplify fractions:
- $ 4 \frac{2}{6} = 4 \frac{1}{3} $
- $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ stays as is
Now convert to improper fractions:
- $ 4 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{13}{3} $
- $ 3 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} $
Find common denominator (LCM of 3 and 2 is 6):
- $ \frac{13}{3} = \frac{26}{6} $
- $ \frac{7}{2} = \frac{21}{6} $
Subtract:
$$
\frac{26}{6} - \frac{21}{6} = \frac{5}{6}
$$
So, the hamster weighs $ \frac{5}{6} $ pound more.
But the question asks
which operation to use — it's
subtraction.
####
✔ Answer:
D. Subtraction

🔹 Question 6:
> 5 students shared $ \frac{1}{2} $ of a brownie cake. What fraction amount of the cake did each student get?
####
✔ Solution:
We have $ \frac{1}{2} $ of a cake divided equally among 5 students.
To find how much each gets, divide:
$$
\frac{1}{2} \div 5 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{10}
$$
Each student gets $ \frac{1}{10} $ of the
whole cake.
####
✔ Answer: Each student got $ \boxed{\frac{1}{10}} $ of the cake.
(Note: The question says "What fraction amount...", so the answer is $ \frac{1}{10} $.)
