Question

Select the correct answer. The math club and the Latin club both ordered pizzas for their end-of-year banquets. After the banquets, the math club had 1 1/8 pizzas leftover and the Latin club had 2 3/8 pizzas leftover. How much more pizza did the Latin club have leftover than the math club? A. 1 1/8 B. 3 1/4 C. 1 1/4 D. 3 1/2

Answer 1

C.
`1(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

-This question tests our knowledge on subtraction.

-Given that the Math club had 1/8 left and the Latin club had 2 3/8 left.

#We subtract Math's leftover from Latin's left over to get how much more pizza did the Latin club have leftover than the math club:

`\bigtriangleup Pizza=Latin -Math\\\\=2(3)/(8)-1(1)/(8)\\\\=(2-1)+((3)/(8)-(1)/(8))\\\\=1+(2)/(8)\\\\=1(2)/(8)\\\\=1(1)/(4)`

Hence, Latin club has
`1(1)/(4)` more left than Math club.
