For every pizza Eric's family ate 2 of the 8 pieces. If Eric's family bought two pizzas, right the ratio of the total number of pieces Eric eight to the total number of pieces the family ate.

The ratio of the total number of pieces Eric ate to the total number of pieces the family ate is 4: 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given:

The total number of pieces in 1 pizza = 8

The number of pieces Eric ate in 1 pizza out of total 8 pieces. = 2 pieces

⇒The total number of pieces eaten by family = 8 - 2 = 6 pieces

Also, total number of pizza brought = 2

So, from the second pizza, Eric ate 2 more pieces.

And, again the total number of pieces eaten by family = 6

⇒ The total pieces eaten by Eric = 2 + 2 = 4 pieces

And The total pieces eaten by Eric's family = 6 + 6 = 12 pieces

So, the ratio of Eric's Share : Family's Share = 4 : 12

Hence, the ratio of the total number of pieces Eric ate to the total number of pieces the family ate is 4: 12.
