A. 23/24

B. 1 1/4

C. 3 1/4

D. 3 11/24

Answer 1

`3(11)/(24)`

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Leftover pizza from the Science club =
`1(1)/(4)`

Left over pizza from french club =
`2(5)/(24)`

Unknown;

Total left over pizzas between the two clubs = ?

Now to solve problem, simply add the leftover from the science club and the french club together;

Total left over pizza =
`1(1)/(4)` +
`2(5)/(24)`

=
`(5)/(4) + (53)/(24)`

=
`(83)/(24)`

=
`3(11)/(24)`

The total left over pizza between the two clubs is
`3(11)/(24)`
