Question

10. Janet and Pat shared a whole pizza. Janet ate 2/3 of the pizza. Pat ate 1/6 of the pizza. What fraction of the pizza was left?

Answer 1

`(1)/(6)\text{ of the pizza is left.}`

Step-by-step explanation

Janet ate 2/3 of the pizza and pat ate 1/6 of the pizza.

To find how much of the pizza is left, add up the fractions that have been eaten and subtract that from a whole.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} 1-((2)/(3)+(1)/(6)) \\ 1-((5)/(6)) \\ (1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

That is the amount of the pizza that is left.
