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.
