Question

There was only 5/12 of a pizza left. Carl then ate 1/6 of the remaining pizza. How much of the pizza was left?

Answer 1

3/12 is the answer because carl ate 1/6 (equivalent to 2/12) you just take away 2/12 from 5/12

Answer 2

`(5)/(12) - (1)/(6) = (5)/(12) - (2)/(12) = (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)`


`(1)/(4)` of the pizza was left
