Part A:

To find out how much leftover pizza Brad had, we need to add up the fractions of each type of pizza:

1/2 cheese pizza + 3/4 sausage pizza + 2/6 pepperoni pizza

We can simplify the fractions by finding a common denominator:

1/2 = 3/6

3/4 = 4.5/6

2/6 = 2/6

Now, we can add the fractions:

3/6 + 4.5/6 + 2/6 = 9.5/6

This means Brad had 9.5/6 of a pizza leftover.

Part B:

Steve had 2/3 of a pizza. To compare this to Brad's leftover pizza, we need to convert Brad's leftover pizza to a fraction with the same denominator as 2/3:

9.5/6 = 9/6 + 0.5/6 = 3/2 + 1/12 = 19/12

Now we can compare:

19/12 - 2/3 = 38/12 - 8/12 = 30/12 = 2.5

This means Brad has 2.5 more pizzas than Steve.
