Question

The Graf family made two pizzas. They ate 1 and 1/8 pizza before watching a movie, and 1/2 pizza more after the movie. What is a reasonable estimate for the amount of pizza left? Tammy chose A as the correct answer. How did she get that answer?

Answer 1

There were 3/8s left

Explanation:

1 1/8 + 1/2 = 1 5/8

2- 1 5/8= 3/8

Answer 2

3/8

Explanation:

So 1 pizza was already eat right and 1/8 was eating I'm assuming it 1/8 then 1/2 is 4/8 so add that witch is 5/8 so 5/8 - 8/8= 3/8
