Question

morgan's family made a large pizza for lunch on saturday. Morgan ate 3/12 of the pizza. megan ate 1/6 of the pizza, and emma ate 1/12 of the pizza. their parents ate 1/3 of the pizza. how much pizza was left

Answer 1

Lisa, it seems that the pizza is cut into 12 slices. Morgan ate 3, leaving 9.

 

Megan ate 1/6, which equals 2/12, so now there are 7 slices left.

 

Emma ate one slice, so we are down to 6 slices.

 

We know that 1/3 = 4/12, so now we have 2 slices left, and we already said that 2/12 = 1/6, so there is 1/6 of the pizza left.

 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

3/12 + 1/6 + 1/12 + 1/3

4/12 + 1/6 + 1/3                 combine

4/12 + 2/12 + 4/12             LCD, 12

10/12 were eaten

2/12 remain
