Question

A Me and Ed's Pizza has 16 slices. John eat 7/12pieces of pizza. Harold

finished 4/23 pieces of pizza. If there was only 23of a piece left over, how

much pizza did Betty eat?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of slices in the pizza = 16

Total number ate by John,

J = 7/12 * 16 = 28/3 = 9.3

Total number ate by Harold,

H = 4/23 * 16 = 2.783

Total number left over

L = 1/23 * 16 = 0.696

Total number ate by Betty

B = ?

All we have to do to get the total number eaten by Betty is to sum up that eaten by Harold and John, including the left over, then subtract it from the total pizza slices.

Betty = Total - (Harold + John + Left Over)

Betty = 16 - (9.3 + 2.783 + 0.696)

Betty = 16 - 12.779

Betty = 3.221

Therefore, Betty ate 3.221 of the total pizza as a whole
