there were three full pizzas sitting on the counter. if joe ate 1/4 of a pizza,rhoda at 3/8 of a pizza,and chris ate 4 slices, how many slices of pizza were left? (assime each pie is cut into 8 slices)
Explanation: Joe ate 2 slices (1/4 = 2/8), Rhoda ate 3 (3/8), Chris ate 4. 2+3+4= 9. There are 3 pizzas divided into 8 slices per pizza. 3 x 8 = 24 ; 24 SLICES TOTAL Subtract 9 (that’s what was consumed) from 24. 24-9 = 15 ; 15 SLICES LEFT OVER
