Question

After a party there were 2 2/3 pepperoni pizzas and 1 5/6 cheese pizza left. How much pizza was there left?

Answer 1

Answer: 4
`(1)/(2)` or 4.5 pizzas

Explanation:

We can add the leftover pizzas together to find the total pizza leftover.

First, I will add the whole numbers together. This gives us 3. Then, I will add the fractions. This gives us one and a half, or 1.5. Lastly, I will add them together. This gives us 4 and a half, or 4.5.

2 + 1 = 3

`\displaystyle (2)/(3) +(5)/(6) = (4)/(6) +(5)/(6)=(9)/(6) =(3)/(2) =1\;(1)/(2)`

3 + 1
`(1)/(2)` = 4
`(1)/(2)`
