Question

Can someone help us: Jaun had 3/4 of a pizza left. His father ate a quarter of the leftover pizza. How much of the pizza did Juan's father eat? (My son has gotten 3/16 by multiplying but this doesn't seem likely? I feel like he doesn't have enough info to solve.)

Answer 1

When you need to solve this problem, you will 1st have to see how many quarters are in 3/4, so there is 3. Then you will subtract a quarter which will leave you with 2. So, there is 2/4 or 1/2 of a pizza left after Juan's father ate a quarter. (Hint: there is no need to multiply, just subtract!). (p.s. There is enough info to solve!)

Answer 2

okay so this is confusing its asking how much he ate of the left over pizza so 3/4 is 75% and he ate a quarter which is 25%  meaning he ate 25% of the left over pizza?
