Of the pizzas sold at the pizzeria, 1/2 cheese, 1/4 sausage, & 1/6 pepperoni; What fraction more of the pizzas were cheese than sausage and pepperoni combined?

1/12 because 3/12 + 2/12 = 5/12 and 6/12 (1/2) - 5/12 = 1/12

To find this, you need to find a common denominator, which is 12 to be simple.

1/2 = 6/12
1/4 = 3/12
1/6 = 2/12

Now, you can add the pepperoni and sausage fraction together. Remember to keep the denominator, 12, the same while adding.

Hopes this helps!
