Question

Tyler ordered a pizza to eat while he watches a movie. Before the movie began, he ate 1/4 of the pizza. During the movie, he ate another 3/8 Before storing the remaining pizza, he ate a final 1/16 of the pizza. How much leftover pizza does Tyler have.

Answer 1

Tyler has
`(5)/(16)` Left over Pizza.

Explanation:

Given:

Total pizza = 1

Pizza ate at First time =
`(1)/(4)`

Pizza ate at Second time =
`(3)/(8)`

Pizza ate at Final time =
`(1)/(16)`

We need to find find the amount of pizza left.

Now to find the Amount of Pizza left is equal to Total Pizza minus Pizza ate at First time minus Pizza ate at second time minus Pizza ate at Final time.

Framing in the equation form we get;

Amount of Pizza left =
`1- (1)/(4) -(3)/(8) -(1)/(16)`

Now Taking the LCM we get;

Amount of Pizza left =
`(1*16)/(16)- (1*4)/(4* 4) -(3*2)/(8*2) -(1*1)/(16*1)= (16)/(16)- (4)/(16) -(6)/(16) -(1)/(16)= (16-4-6-1)/(16)= (5)/(16)`

Hence Tyler has
`(5)/(16)` Left over Pizza.
