Question

You eat 2/3 of your pizza and you have 4 slices leftover. How many slices did you originally order? Write and solve an equation to find the original number of slices.

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

4 × 3 = 12

3/3 = 12

2/3 = 8

1/3 = 4

8 slices were eaten and 4 are left, and if you add 8 + 4 or you multiply the 3 × 4, you get 12. There were originally 12 slices.
