Answer 1

My friend Matthew bought four pizzas. We ate five eighths of each pizza leaving three eighths left in each box. How much pizza did we have left over between the four boxes?

4 times 3/8 is equal to 1.5. (just felt it was incomplete without this answer. Also, hope this was a satisfactory answer.)
