Question

Shawna, Ryan, and Dominic ate a whole pizza. Shawna ate 1

3 of the pizza
and Ryan ate 1
2 of the pizza. Dominic ate the rest of the pizza. How much
pizza did Dominic eat?

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

You need to add the amount Shawna & Ryan ate together, then subtract it from 1 to find the amount of pizza that was left for Dominic to eat.

`(1)/(3)` +
`(1)/(2)` = ?

Make all the denominators the same to add fractions.

`(1)/(3)` is
`(2)/(6)`

`(1)/(2)` is
`(3)/(6)`

`(2)/(6)` +
`(3)/(6)` =
`(5)/(6)`

1 -
`(5)/(6)` =
`(1)/(6)`
