Question

Joey ate 3/5 of a pizza and Rachel ate 2/3 of a pizza. About how much pizza did they eat altogether? Show and explain how you estimate how much pizza they ate.

Answer 1

The answer is 1 4/15 of a pizza.

Explanation:

You have to change both fractions to their least common denominator. 3/5 would = 9/15 and 2/3 would equal 10/15. You add the two together and you get 19/15 or

1 4/15.
