Question

1. Devon had his two friends over for pizza. Devon ate .25 of the pizza. One of his friends ate 3/8 of the pizza and the other friend ate 1/8 of the pizza. How much of the pizza is left? * 6/8 O 1/3 جا

Answer 1

Let the amount of pizza be 1:

Amount ate by devon = 0.25 = 1/4

Amount ate by his friends = 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8

The total fraction consumed = 1/4 + 4/8

The total fraction consumed = (2+4)/8

The total fraction consumed = 6/8

The fraction of the pizza left unconsumed = Total amount of pizza - amount consumed

The fraction of the pizza left unconsumed = 1 - 6/8

The fraction of the pizza left unconsumed = (8-6)/8

The fraction of the pizza left unconsumed = 2/8

The fraction of the pizza left unconsumed = 1/4

Hence the amount of pizza left is 1/4
