Question

Johnny and Steven ate a 12-piece pizza. If Johnny ate 3/4 of the pizza, how many pieces did Steven eat? *

Answer 1

3 slices of pizza

Explanation:

There are 12 total slices of pizza. In order to find how much Johnny ate, we must multiply 12 by 3/4.

12/1 × 3/4 OR 12 × 0.75 = 9

Johnny ate 9 slices of pizza.

Then, we have to subtract 9 from 12 to determine how many slices Steven ate.

12 - 9 = 3

Steven ate 3 slices of pizza.

Answer 2

Steven ate 3 pieces

Explanation:

If Johnny ate 3/4 , then Steven at 1 - 3/4 or 1/4

12 * 1/4 = 3

Steven ate 3 pieces
