Question

Steve ate 1/4 of a pizza, then Scott ate 1/3 of the pizza. What fraction of the pizza is remaining?

Answer 1

Explanation:

`pizza - (1)/(4) pizza - (1)/(3) pizza = \\ = pizza(1 - (1)/(4) - (1)/(3) ) = \\ = ( (12 - 3 - 4)/(12) )pizza = \\ = (5)/(12) pizza`

That's the fraction of pizza left for you to eat.

Answer 2

5/12 is left. Convert 1/4 and 1/3 to 3/12 and 4/12. Add them to make a sum if 7/12. 12-7=5 so 5/12 is left.
