Question

sam eats 1/4 of a pizza joe eats 1/2 of the remaining pizza. what part of the original pizza is left?

Answer 1

1/4 of the pizza is left

Answer 2

If Sam eats 1/4 of the pizza, we must subtract 1/4 from 1.

1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

Now, Since Joe eats 1/2 of the pizza, we subtract 2/4, since 1/2 = 2/4.

3/14 - 2/4 = 1/4.

Answer = 1/4
