Corona has a spectacular aura about
Please help me help my 6 year old first grader with his math homework?

Problem:
Bob divided a pizza into 8 equal pieces. He ate 5 pieces of pizza. If the shaded area shows how much pizza was eateh, which pizza is Bob's.

1. circle with 4 equal slices all shaded.
2. circle with 4 equal slices 2 shaded.
3. circle with 3 non equal slices with 2 shaded
4. circle cut in half with all of it shaded.

Please explain your answer so that I can try and help him with this. Ya'll really helped me out a few weeks ago with math and I really appreciate it.
Duke...after reading your answer I started cracking up laughing, because honestly I feel the same way!! I can't believe this is first grade math!! But it is a serious question that I obviously needed help with. Thanks for the laugh though, and thanks to the others for the answers. I guess I will be looking into hiring a tutor over the summer!
