Pizza problems

Room 2 fractions - (help us work out our factions and win a chocolate fish!)


We decided to make pizza - but how many do we need?  


We have 16 children in Room 2 class.  


Jivarn said "we should have 8 pizzas  and cut them in half, so that every person could have 1/2 a pizza each."


Some students said we should have 4 pizza and cut it into 4 pieces so that every person could have 1/4 of a pizza each.


Samantha said "we should have 3 pizzas and divide it into 6 pieces, so that we can have 18 pieces so we have some left over for Mrs Keenan and Mrs Rayner"


Mrs Rayner said "we should have 2 pizzas,  because we don't want to be greedy!"


So we had 2 pizzas for 16 people, what fraction of a pizza did everyone get?
