Answer:

Harris ate
(n-4)/(4) slices of pizza.

Explanation:

If 4 friends evenly divided up an n-slice pizza

Total Slices=n

Number of people sharing=4

Each Friend will receive
(n)/(4) slice of pizza

Harris Ate 1 fewer slice than he received

Harris' Share=
(n)/(4)

Number of Slices Harris Ate ate
(n)/(4)-1\\=(n-4)/(4)
