Answer 2

Complete Question:

4 friends evenly divided up a n-slice pizza. One of the friends,Harris, ate 1 fewer slice than he received. How many slices of pizza did Harrison eat?

Answer:

Harrison ate
`(n)/(4)-1` slices of pizza.

Explanation:

Given data, 4 friends evenly divided up a ‘n’ slice pizza.

Thereby, the number of slices that each friend get =
`(n)/(4)`

Now, given Harrison ate 1 fewer slice than he received. As he received
`(n)/(4)` slices, so 1 fewer than
`(n)/(4)` means
`(n)/(4)-1`

Thus, Harrison ate
`(n)/(4)-1` slices of pizza.
