there are 7 people and you ordered 4 pizzas. Each person ate 3/8 of a pizza. How much pizza would you have left
Thank yo MS Sue. That is want I came up with but just wanted confirmation.
thank you
You're welcome.
To determine how much pizza would be left, we need to calculate the total amount of pizza consumed by the 7 people and subtract it from the total amount of pizza ordered.
First, we calculate the amount of pizza each person ate by multiplying the number of people (7) by the fraction of a pizza each person ate (3/8).
7 * 3/8 = 21/8 = 2.625 pizzas
Now, we subtract the amount of pizza consumed from the total amount of pizza ordered (4 pizzas).
4 - 2.625 = 1.375 pizzas
Therefore, you would have 1.375 pizzas left.
7 * 3/8 = 21/8 = 2 5/8
3 8/8 - 2 5/8 = 1 3/8 left
