we are given
total number of pizzas =5
carolines family ate [tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pizzas
we can simplify it
carolines family ate [tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex] pizzas
so,
[tex]C=\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
[tex]C=\frac{11}{8}[/tex]
julias family ate [tex]1\frac{2}{6}[/tex] pizzas
julias family ate [tex]\frac{8}{6}[/tex] pizzas
so,
[tex]J=\frac{8}{6}[/tex]
Let's assume remaining pizzas as R
so, C+J+R=5
we can plug values
and then we can solve for R
[tex]\frac{11}{8}+\frac{8}{6}+R=5[/tex]
[tex]R=5-\frac{11}{8}-\frac{8}{6}[/tex]
[tex]R=\frac{55}{24}[/tex]
[tex]R=2.2916[/tex]
so, approximately 2 pizzas are left..........Answer
