Question

Scotty and Tyler are training for a pizza-eating contest. They are trying to eat 6 pizzas in total. So far, Scotty has eaten 2 3/4 pizzas and Tyler has eaten 1 7/8 pizzas. How much more pizza do they have left to eat?

Answer 1

The answer is 1 3/8 pizza is left to eat for Scotty and Tyler.

Answer 2

They are left with
`1(3)/(8)` pizza to eat.

Explanation:

Scotty and Tyler are trying to eat 6 pizzas in total.

Sotty has eaten =
`2(3)/(4)` Pizzas

Tyler has eaten =
`1(7)/(8)` Pizzas

Total pizza eaten by them =
`2(3)/(4)` Pizzas +
`1(7)/(8)` Pizzas

=
`(11)/(4)` +
`(15)/(8)`

=
`(37)/(8)`

Total pizza was eaten =
`4(5)/(8)`

Pizza have left to eat = 6 -
`4(5)/(8)`

= 6 -
`(37)/(8)`

=
`(11)/(8)`

=
`1(3)/(8)`

They are left with
`1(3)/(8)` pizza to eat.
