Emilio · Answer 1

Bridget is correct because 6/8 is equivalent to 3/4

Roman Mason · Answer 2

Yes, Bridget is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

If a circle has eight equal slices, 1/2 the pizza has 4 slices, then you only need two more slices which would add a quarter more. Therefore, you would have 3/4 of the pizza eaten.
