After a party, Brendan had left over pizza. Brendan had one half of a cheese pizza, 3/4 of a sausage pizza, and 2/6 of a pepperoni pizza. How much leftover pizza did Brendan have? Steve has 2/3 of a pizza. How much more pizza does Brendan have than Steve?

3/4+2/6+1/2 = 9/12+4/12+6/12 = 19/12 Brendan has 1 7/12 leftover pizzas. THis is achieved by multiplying for a common denominator and adding

19/12-2/3 = 19/12-8/12 = 11/12 Brendan has 11/12 more pizzas than Steve.
