Question

A pizza was divide

into 12 slices. Kesh
ate 2 slices. Jorge
ate 3 slices. What
fraction of the pizza
was left over?

Answer 1

Answer: 7/12

Find the total amount of pizza eaten.

Kesh = 2 slices

Jorge = 3 slices

Total eaten: 5/12

Subtract 5/12 from 12/12.

12/12 - 5/12 = 7/12

Answer = 7/12

Hope this answer helped!

Answer 2

Total number of slices = 12

No. of slices eaten by Kesh = 2

No. of slices eaten by Jorge = 3

No. of slices left

= Total number of slices - (No. of slices eaten by Kesh + No. of slices eaten by Jorge)

= 12 - (2 + 3)

= 12 - 5

= 7

Fraction of the pizza left

= No. of slices left/Total number of slices

= 7/12
