Answer 2

4 friends evenly dividing up a n - slice pizza

So each one get
`(n)/(4)` slices of pizza.

For example, if n = 12 slice then each friend gets 12/4 = 3 pieces. If Harris ate one slice less then he ate
`(12)/(4)-1`=3 -1 = 2 pieces.

So the general expression for slices of pizza did Harris eat is

`(n)/(4)-1`
